Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Beat butter, sugar, vanilla and salt using an electric mixer until fluffy; add egg whites and beat just until smooth, scraping the bowl as needed. Blend flour with baking powder; add to mixer and beat on low until a thick dough forms.
Roll 1 tbsp (15 ml) portions of dough into balls. Roll in sugar and place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets, spacing 3-inches (8 cm) apart. (Do not flatten, cookies will spread as they bake.)
Bake, in batches, for 12 minutes or until golden around the edges. Cool completely on baking sheets.

When adding sugar to egg whites begin after the whites are foamy and then add 1 tablespoon at a time, beating as you slowly sprinkle the sugar in. Check to be sure that sugar is dissolved by rubbing a bit of beaten white between your thumb and forefinger. It should feel smooth.
