1. Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar on medium-low speed for 4 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla extract just until combined. Add flour mixture and beat just until combined. Do not overmix.
4. Place ¼ cup sugar in a small bowl. Shape dough into balls, the size of 1.5 tablespoons each (I use this ice cream scoop for that), then roll them in the sugar and place on the cookie sheets, spacing them 2-inches apart. Bake for 11-12 minutes until cookies just begin to brown at the edges, but the center is still soft (you don't want to overbake them). Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5-10 minutes, then gently transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

1. For the cookies: In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition. Add the vanilla and mix well.

2. Preheat oven to 350°F. If desired, line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
3. After the dough has chilled, scoop scant quarter-cupfuls of the dough. Roll into balls and flatten slightly. Place on the prepared pans 2-3 inches apart.

Frost cooled cookies and top with sprinkles if desired.

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the egg and vanilla; beat at medium speed until combined, about 30 seconds. Add the dry ingredients and beat at low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds, scraping down the bowl as needed.
4. Place the ½ cup sugar for rolling in a shallow bowl. Fill a medium bowl halfway with cold tap water. Dip your hands in the water and shake off any excess (this will prevent the dough from sticking to your hands and ensure that the sugar sticks to the dough). Roll a heaping tablespoon of dough into a 1½-inch ball between moistened palms, roll the ball in the sugar, and then place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, moistening your hands as necessary, and spacing the balls about 2 inches apart. Butter the bottom of a drinking glass and then dip the bottom of the glass in the remaining sugar. Flatten the dough balls with the bottom of the glass until they are about ¾ inch thick, dipping the glass in sugar as necessary to prevent sticking (after every 2 or 3 cookies).
