Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit.

Step 2

In the bowl of a stand mixer, use the paddle attachment to cream together the butter and sugars.

Step 3

Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix again.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients (all of the remaining cookie ingredients). Whisk well.

Step 5

Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until combined.

Step 6

Use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.

Step 7

Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are barely brown. Don't over bake the cookies.

Step 8

Allow the cookies to cool for 3-4 minutes on the baking sheet, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Add another tablespoon of milk if the consistency is too thick.

Step 10

Dip the top of the cookie in the icing (or use a spoon to drizzle the cookies with icing) and place them on the wire rack for the icing to set.

Step 11

Once the icing has set, store the cookies in a single layer in an airtight container.

Step 12

These cookies freeze well!
