Step 1

If you're planning to bake right away, then preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C.

Step 2

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar (here's how to do it). Add the egg, vanilla extract and milk, and beat again until well combined.

Step 4

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix again until just combined. Do not overmix the cookie dough.

Step 5

Divide into 4 portions, cover with plastic wrap, and chill or freeze until you're ready to use or start shaping and baking!

Step 6

When ready to bake, if making small 1 tablespoon size cookies, bake at 350°F/180°C until the bottom of the cookie is golden brown (about 8 minutes).
