Ingredients

• Wet Ingredients:
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon milk
• Dry Ingredients:
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon salt (balances sweetness, optional based on preference)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Use an ungreased or parchment-lined cold baking sheet.
2. Make the Dough:
   • Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until light and fluffy.
   • Beat in the egg, vanilla, and milk until fully combined.
   • Gradually add the flour (and optional salt), mixing until just incorporated.
3. Bake:
   • Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for spreading.
   • Bake for about 8–10 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Avoid overbaking to maintain softness.
4. Cool:
   • Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
