Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 0.25 cup additional granulated sugar for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl into the wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough at a time, rolling it into balls with your hands. Place each dough ball about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Lightly flatten each dough ball with the bottom of a glass or your palm, and sprinkle the tops with additional granulated sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just beginning to turn golden. Do not overbake; the centers should remain soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Farmhouse Sugar Cookies with a glass of milk or a warm cup of tea!
