Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons milk
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, until a soft dough forms.
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Use a fork to gently press down on each dough ball, creating the distinctive washboard pattern.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These cookies are the perfect balance of sweetness and texture, offering a simple yet satisfying treat.
