Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract and milk until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set. Be careful not to overbake.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your soft, buttery sugar cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
