Directions:
In a large bowl, with mixer at high speed, beat 1 cup sugar, and 3/4 cup butter until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; beat in 2 1/2 cups of flour and remaining ingredients until well mixed, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber spatula.

Shape dough into ball; wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or until dough is firm enough to handle. (Or, place dough in freezer 30 minutes.)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. With hands, shape a level tablespoon of dough into balls. Place balls, about 3 inches apart, on ungreased large cookie sheets. With bottom of flat bottom glass dipped in sugar, flatten each ball to about 2 inch round.

Bake cookies 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Remove cookies to wire racks to cool.
