Ingredients

• 2.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 whole Large egg
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Milk (optional, for brushing before baking)
• 0 Colored sugar or sprinkles (optional, for decoration)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If the dough is too sticky to handle, refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes to firm it up.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 8

Optional: Lightly press the tops of the dough balls with your fingers or the bottom of a glass for a flatter cookie. Brush lightly with milk and sprinkle with colored sugar or sprinkles if desired.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges just start to turn golden. Avoid overbaking for a soft texture.

Step 10

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy Eloise's Easy Sugar Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
