Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup Dark Brown Sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 2 tablespoon milk
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 pinch salt
Instructions
- Mix butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with a hand mixer or electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on high speed until creamy. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
- Mix the butter and flour in the mixer bowl without using the mixer stand, if using.
- Then, take the bowl back to the mixer stand and combine the dry ingredients until they are well combined. It will be a delicate dough.
- Mix the milk into the dough slowly until it comes together. Beat the dough until it becomes smooth.
- Turn out the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap. Make a log that is approximately 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches in size by wrapping firmly. Keep it in the fridge for at least three hours or all day.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
- Cut the dough log into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. It is important to leave enough space around the cookies since they will expand as they bake.
- It takes 12 to 15 minutes for the cookies to turn golden brown. Allow the cookies to sit on the cookie sheet for about 6 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool.
