# What You'll Need:
→ Sugar Cookies
01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 1 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 large egg
04 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
05 - 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
06 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
07 - 1/2 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 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
03 - Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture; mix until fully combined.
04 - Whisk the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just incorporated.
05 - Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets and flatten each slightly with your hand or the bottom of a glass.
06 - Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until cookie edges turn lightly golden. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
07 - In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Optionally, divide and add food coloring.
08 - Once cookies have cooled, drizzle the icing over each cookie using a spoon or piping bag. Allow the icing to set before serving.
