Follow instructions on New York Times site (link above), except:
Regular sugar is fine for rolling (last step).
We make cookies about half as big. I.e., 25 grams per cookies.
We cook for only 13 minutes before pulling out and hitting the counter. Then we only cook for 1 more minutes. It might be that our oven is hotter or it might have something to do with our high altitude. Not sure why, but they are overdone for us when cooked as long as the NY Times recipe says.
