Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and line the tray
Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so the cookies lift easily.
Whisk the wet ingredients
In a bowl, whisk granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla for 1–2 minutes until slightly lighter and foamy. Stir in the salt.
Add the dry ingredients
Sift the flour and baking powder together, then fold them in. Mix just until the dough comes together; don’t overwork it.
Shape and coat
Scoop walnut-size portions of dough and roll into balls. Coat each one generously in powdered sugar—this helps the classic crackle form.
Bake
Place the dough balls on the sheet with space between them. Bake for 12 minutes, until the tops crackle and the edges look set.
Cool briefly, then serve
Let the cookies rest on the tray for 8–10 minutes, then move to a rack. Serve warm or once fully cooled.
