Pour the 100 grams of sugar, the margarine, and the vanilla essence or vanilla sugar into a large bowl. Next, beat with a wire mixer or with some manual rods until the sugar has dissolved and all the ingredients are integrated. The texture that should be is a creamy paste.

Step Three
Once the sugar is dissolved, and the ingredients mixed, add the egg to the mixture and continue beating to integrate with the rest of the vanilla cookies ingredients.
Step Four
Place a strainer over the bowl and add the flour, yeast, and a pinch of salt over it. Shake the strainer over the bowl so that the powdered ingredients fall sifted and smooth into the mixture.
Skipping this step and pouring the flour and yeast directly into the ingredient mix will likely give your cookie dough a lumpy texture. To avoid this and get a perfect dough that gives a good result, this step is essential.

To start forming the cookies, you have to take a little dough with your hands and shape it into a ball. You can also shape it with two spoons, but it will be easier to do it with your hands. You only need to make balls similar to meatballs. You do not have to crush the dough to give it a cookie shape.
Step Eight
Once the biscuit ball is made, roll it in the icing sugar and remove the excess by tapping it. Put the cookie ball on the baking sheet. Continually repeat this process until all the dough has been used.
