# Components:
→ 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)
# Preparation Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
03 - Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough develops.
06 - Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
07 - Gently press each ball down with the bottom of a glass or your palm to form round cookies.
08 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
09 - In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and drizzle-able. Stir in food coloring if desired.
10 - Drizzle the icing over cooled cookies using a spoon or piping bag and allow it to set before serving.
