pretty darn good cookies

I love me some sugar cookies. hmmmm. But I hate the roll out ones, just seems like too much of a hassle.
I came across this recipe on allrecipes.com. And boy were they delish. I took them into work and they didn't last very long. Everyone thought I bought them.
The night I made them, Derek came home and he was like, "ahhh man...sugar cookies! I hate sugar cookies." I said, "Well tough, I like them". The next day, he said that he had some of those cookies for breakfast and that he changed his mind, "they are pretty good". Silly boy.
Oh and just ignore how much butter you need... ;)

Drop Sugar Cookies


1 1/4 C. white sugar
1 C. salted butter
3 egg yolks
2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 C. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 C. sugar crystals or regular sugar


Directions:


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.


Cream together butter and sugar. Mix in 1 egg yolk at a time and vanilla.
Add flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt until cookie dough is mixed.
Using a medium scoop, form dough balls and roll them in the sugar crystals. 
Place cookie balls on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (best invention ever).
Bake for 12-14 min (I didn't bake mine for that long. I did about 10.) until the surface of each cookies have a cracked like texture. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 min.


These also freeze really well.
