Add egg and mix until fully incorporated. Add vanilla extract and mix in thoroughly. Scrape down the sides of the mixer bowl. At low speed, slowly add the flour mixture and mix until just incorporated. Remove dough from bowl onto a sheet of plastic film and press into a disc. Completely wrap with plastic film and refrigerate for at least an hour (overnight is even better). In the meantime, line one or more baking sheets with parchment paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once chilled, remove the film and form balls from the dough. For the yield noted above, the dough balls should be about the size of a ping-pong ball. A portioning scoop works well for ensuring uniformity. Place each dough ball on the parchment-lined baking sheet. To avoid cookies \u201cfusing\u201d together while baking, space them about 6-8 cm (2\u00bd \u2013 3\u2033) apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for 2-3 minutes before removing from baking sheet to a cooling rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Snickerdoodles <\/strong>\u2013 mix 2 tbsp Cinnamon with 100 g white sugar.
