# What You'll Need:
→ Sugar Cookies
01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 1 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 large egg
04 - 2 tsp vanilla extract
05 - 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
06 - 1/2 tsp baking powder
07 - 1/2 tsp salt
→ Icing Drizzle
08 - 1 cup powdered sugar
09 - 2 to 3 tbsp milk
10 - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
11 - Food coloring (optional)
# Directions:
01 - Set oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, approximately 2 minutes.
03 - Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
04 - Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl; then gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
05 - Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough, roll into balls, and place 2 inches apart on prepared sheets. Flatten slightly with your hand or a glass bottom.
06 - Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
07 - Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Optionally divide and tint with food coloring.
08 - Once cookies are cool, drizzle icing over each using a spoon or piping bag. Allow the icing to set before serving.
