Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and milk.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges just begin to turn golden.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.
Notes
Use unsalted butter for better control of salt levels. Measure flour correctly to avoid dry cookies. Don't overbake; cookies should look slightly underdone when removed from the oven.
