For a softer cookie, ensure the butter is properly softened but not melted. Room temperature is key! If the dough is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before scooping. Experiment with different extracts, such as almond or lemon, for a unique flavor twist. Store the frosted cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. This is a crucial step for achieving the right texture, so don't rush it! (5 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, incorporating each egg fully before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract and milk until well combined. (3 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a slightly sticky dough is preferable to a tough one. (5 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
Drop the cookie dough by heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. (5 minutes)
06
Step
12 mins
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops spring back lightly when touched. (12 minutes)
07
Step
30 mins
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting with your favorite pink icing. (30 minutes)
