1. Cream the Butter and Sugar: Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add vanilla extract and mix to combine.
2. Stir in Flour: Mix flour into the butter and sugar mixture. Stir until just combined and a dough forms.
3. Roll Dough Balls: Scoop the dough into 2 tablespoon portions using a medium cookie scoop, then roll into balls.
4. Bake: Roll each dough ball in granulated sugar if desired. Place onto the baking sheets and flatten each ball of dough. Use the bottom of a glass or the palm of your hand. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set and slightly golden. Take the 4 ingredient sugar cookies out when the centers still look soft. They finish baking right on the sheet.
