Ingredients
Ingredients
sugar
1/2 cup (granulated)
butter
2 cups (softened or melted)
milk
2 tablespoons (dairy or non-dairy)
vanilla extract
2 teaspoons (pure or synthetic)
all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups (sifted)
baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons (dry)
salt
1 pinch (to enhance flavor)
sugar for topping
1/8 cup (granulated)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar. Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat them together until the mixture turns light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
3
Add the vanilla extract and milk to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until well incorporated.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, using a spatula or your hands to combine, until a soft and slightly sticky dough forms.
6
If the dough is too sticky, gradually add extra flour, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach a workable consistency—aim for a dough that holds together but isn’t too dry.
7
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball to about 1/2 - 2/3 inch in thickness.
8
To create a sugary topping, place the remaining 1/8 cup of sugar on a flat surface and gently press one side of each flattened cookie into the sugar to coat.
9
Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them to allow for spreading.
10
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies' bottoms are lightly golden. Remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
