Description
Sweet, tender cookies with a creamy buttery flavor and a delightful glaze that brings warmth and nostalgia.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp butter extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tbsp milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until creamy and light, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla and butter extracts until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them a couple of inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges and just set in the middle.
- Mix the powdered sugar and milk for the glaze until smooth, then drench the warm cookies with the glaze as soon as they come out of the oven.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a zesty twist, add lemon zest to the glaze or fold in chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
