Ingredients
Scale
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
- 2 tbsp whole milk (for frosting)
- Food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually incorporate into wet ingredients until combined.
- Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to prevent spreading during baking.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto ungreased baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are golden. Cool completely on wire racks.
- For the frosting, mix powdered sugar with milk and vanilla until smooth. Add food coloring as desired. Once cookies are cool, frost generously and decorate.
