Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Stir in the milk to create a dough that is soft but not too sticky.
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers to create a small, round cookie shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
