1/2 c  Unsalted butter, room temp
1/2 c  Granulated sugar
1 1/2 c  White flour
1 lg Egg
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 1/2 ts Baking powder

Beat the butter with the sugar. Add the egg and vanilla and beat
until you get a uniform mixture. Mix the flour and baking powder and
gradually blend them into the mixture. When youre done, you should
have a rather sticky dough. Shape the dough into balls, about 1 inch
in diame- ter. Roll them in sugar and place them on an ungreased
cookie sheet, leaving about an inch of space between cookies, so that
they dont stick together when they expand. Bake in preheated oven at
350 deg. F for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, let them cool for a
while, and start eating right away.
