– 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
– 1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
– 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt

7. Arrange the formed cookies on the prepared cookie sheet, leaving some space between them.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden.
9. While the cookies are still warm, roll them in confectioners sugar to coat them generously.
10. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack, then roll them again in confectioners sugar before serving.
