Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Step 3: Add the vanilla extract and mix gently until incorporated.
- Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the butter mixture.
- Step 5: Pour in the milk and mix just until combined to form a soft dough.
- Step 6: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and place on the prepared baking sheets.
- Step 7: Using a fork, gently press down each ball to flatten and create the ridged pattern on top.
- Step 8: Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown and the tops look set.
- Step 9: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
