1. 1

   Heat oven to 375u00b0F.

2. 2

   Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

3. 3

   Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.

4. 4

   With mixer, beat butter, 1 cup granulated sugar and brown sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

5. 5

   Add egg and vanilla; beat at medium speed until combined, about 30 seconds.

6. 6

   Add dry ingredients and beat at low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds.

7. 7

   Place 1/2 cup sugar in shallow bowl.

8. 8

   Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls, roll in sugar and place about 2 inches apart on baking sheet. (If the dough seems too sticky to handle, ill a medium-sized bowl half way with cold tap water. Before you roll each ball of dough, dip your hands in cold water and dry--this will keep dough cool and help keep it from sticking to your hands.).

9. 9

11. 11

12. 12

    Cool cookies on baking sheets about 3 minutes and then transfer to wire rack and cool to room temperature.
