Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- Extra granulated sugar for rolling
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and milk, mixing until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until incorporated.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll each into a ball. Gently roll each ball in extra granulated sugar to coat.
- Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden but the centers still look soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
