Ingredients

Servings

• 3 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter, softened
• ³⁄₄ cup Granulated sugar
• 1 Egg
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₄ cup Milk
• 3 cup Powdered sugar (for frosting)
• ¹⁄₄ cup Unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Vanilla extract (for frosting)
• Food coloring (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.

7. In a small bowl, cream together the powdered sugar, softened unsalted butter, and vanilla extract to make the frosting. Add food coloring if desired.
8. Once the cookies have cooled, frost them using a butter knife or piping bag. Allow the frosting to set before serving.
