Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cups milk
- 0.25 cups additional granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
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 using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers. Sprinkle the tops with additional granulated sugar.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops appear slightly cracked. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on them for 5 minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve with a glass of milk or a warm cup of tea and enjoy!
