Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0 Optional: coarse sugar or sprinkles 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 large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. The dough should be soft, but not sticky; if it's too sticky, you can chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Once the dough is ready, take about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place it on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 6

Flatten each cookie slightly with the bottom of a glass or your fingers. If desired, brush the tops lightly with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar or sprinkles for decoration.

Step 7

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and just lightly golden. Do not overbake; the centers should remain soft.

Step 8

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy your homemade old-fashioned sugar cookies. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
