Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 whole Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and milk until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, beating on low speed until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Be careful not to overbake; the cookies 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 wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your fluffy sugar cookies as is, or decorate them with icing or sprinkles for a festive touch!
