# What You'll Need:
→ Cookie Dough
01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 large egg
04 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
05 - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
06 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
07 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Icing Drizzle
08 - 1 cup powdered sugar
09 - 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
10 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
11 - Food coloring (optional)
# How To Make It:
01 - Set oven temperature to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together with an electric mixer or whisk until mixture is light and fluffy.
03 - Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until fully combined.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
05 - Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
06 - Roll the dough into 1-inch diameter balls and arrange them on baking sheets, spacing each ball approximately 2 inches apart.
07 - Gently press each dough ball flat using the bottom of a glass or your palm to create uniform rounds.
08 - Bake cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges turn a light golden brown. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
09 - Combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and drizzle-able. Add food coloring if desired.
10 - Drizzle the prepared icing over cooled cookies using a spoon or piping bag. Allow icing to set before serving.
