Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F.

Step 2

Cream together butter, sugar, milk, and vanilla in large bowl.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, and stir until combined. The dough may seem thick, but it will come together. If dough is too dry, stir in an additional tablespoon of milk.

Step 5

Roll dough into rounded tablespoon sized balls (about 1 1/2 Tbsp each), and roll in sugar. For flatter cookies, press down cookies slightly with hand before baking.

Step 6

Bake at 350F for about 10 minutes. They may not look quite done yet, but they will set on the pan. Allow cookies to cool on pan for at least 5 minutes before transferring to wire cooling rack.
