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.
