Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until just blended. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls and roll the balls in remaining 1\/4 cup of sugar. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets and flatten slightly.","2":"Bake for 8 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned at the edges. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.","4":"*let the butter actually soften. do not use melted butter, the consistency of the dough is far easier to work with if you let the butter simply soften in a bowl outside of the refrigerator."}
