How to Make Angel Crisps

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened; ¾ cup granulated sugar; 1 large egg; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour; ½ teaspoon baking powder; and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  3. Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
  4. Dip the top half of each ball into water, then immediately roll in granulated sugar.
  5. Place the sugared balls onto an ungreased baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as they bake quickly.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
