3. Add egg and vanilla and beat some more.

4. Beat in as much of the flour as you can, until it gets too stiff for your mixer. Then stir in the rest.

5. Place some granulated sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Roll the balls in the sugar and place on un-greased cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Flatten the balls with the prongs of a fork in a crisscross pattern.

6. Bake in a 375 F oven for 7 minutes, no more (of course oven temperatures vary, so bake until the bottoms are lightly browned.) They will seem under-cooked at 7 minutes but pull them out any way. Set the cookie sheets on a wire rack. Leave the cookies on the cookie sheet for a few minutes after you pull them out of the oven. They will firm up). Then move them to a wire rank to cool completely.

7. The final step is, as always, enjoy!
