Steps

1

Preheat oven to 375°. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper / silicone liner (just use a flat cookie sheet like I do.)
2

Add butter and sugar to a bowl and cream together on medium-high speed with a mixer until it is light and fluffy.
3

Scrape down the sides of the bowl and stir in the vanilla.
4

In three batches stir in the flour and mix just until combined.
5

Scoop out the dough with a 1oz scoop or use a tablespoon to scoop the dough. Till into a ball quickly the more you handle the dough the more the butter melts.
6

Place on the prepared baking sheets or cookie sheets and using your three middle fingers press the dough down so that the edges are about 1/4" thick.
7

Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the edges of the cookies begin to turn golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the pans for 5 minutes and then move to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Note: There is a lot of butter in these cookies the more yo handle the dough the more it melts. That is why I prefer to use a scoop over rolling in my hand. If that's not an option for you just do a very quick roll of the dough in your hands.
