Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl. Continue mixing until well incorporated and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to ensure they are evenly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until the dough starts to come together.
Add the milk and mix briefly to bind everything into a cohesive cookie dough. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll it into 1-inch balls. Arrange the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to form a thick disk.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden. Avoid overbaking for soft cookies.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
