Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour essential for structure; ensures your cookies hold their shape.
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar adds sweetness and helps the cookies brown nicely.
  • 1 tsp baking powder gives the cookies a delightful lift, making them soft and chewy.
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened) brings richness and flavor; room temperature butter mixes better.
  • 1 large egg acts as a binder, keeping the cookies moist and chewy.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract infuses a warm, aromatic flavor that complements the sweetness beautifully.
For the Icing
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar creates a sweet, smooth finish for decorating.
  • 3 tbsp milk thins the icing to the right consistency for easy drizzling.

  4. Combine by mixing in 1 large egg and 1 tsp of vanilla extract until well incorporated.
  5. Incorporate the dry ingredients gradually into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the lined baking sheets, spacing them a few inches apart.
