Mix together all dry ingredients (not including sugar). Then set aside. Cream together all other ingredients (including sugar). Slowly add dry ingredients. Mix until fluffy. Chill in refrigerator for about 1 hour. Lightly spray a baking sheet with oil or non-stick spray. Roll into 1-inch balls, then roll in sugar before putting them on the baking sheet. After they're on the baking sheet, lightly sprinkle water on them for a nice crackle finish. Bake at 375°F for 8 minutes.

I recommend using stoneware to bake the cookies on but it's not necessary.
This is the recipe that my grandmother and I used to make for the holidays.
My husband loves this recipe!
Altho I didn't submit this recipe, this is the same recipe I grew up with, and its by far and away the one I get requests for most often. These cookies are AWESOME.
