Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter softened at room temperature
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs at room temperature
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 Tbsp Milk
- 3 cups All Purpose Flour
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Instructions
- Beat together the butter and sugar with a hand held mixer or a stand up mixer. Then add in the eggs, milk and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder and salt.
- Then gradually stir the dry ingredients (flour mixture) into the wet ingredients (butter mixture) until a dough forms. Cover and chill the dough for at least 2 hours.
- Then preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Use a teaspoon or cookie scoop to drop the cookie dough onto a prepared baking sheet into round balls. Flatten the cookie dough out slightly by using the bottom of a glass dipped in granulated sugar.
- Then bake for 12-15 minutes until the cookies are slightly golden brown. Make sure to rotate the baking sheets halfway through the baking time to ensure that the cookies are baked evenly.
- Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then move the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
*Store any leftover cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Keep a piece of bread in the container with the cookies to keep them soft.
*Make sure to not over bake the cookies. They should be slightly golden brown and they will continue to set once they cool.
