  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for topping)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  5. Shape cookies: Roll dough into small balls, shape into ovals, press with a fork, sprinkle with sugar, and bake.
