Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 to 3 tbsp milk or water
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • food coloring (optional)

Method
 

  1. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Beat in the milk and vanilla on low.
  3. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually mix into the butter mixture to form a soft dough.
  4. Divide the dough into two disks, wrap, and chill at least 1 hour.
  5. Heat oven to 350°F. Roll each disk to ¼ inch thick, cut shapes, and bake on parchment-lined sheets for 8 to 10 minutes until edges are just golden.
  6. Cool completely, then whisk the icing ingredients together and decorate the cookies.

Notes

Chill time is not included in the prep hours. The dough needs at least 1 hour in the fridge, so plan that into your timeline. If the dough gets soft while you are cutting shapes, pop it back in the fridge for 10 minutes before baking.
