Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup butter room temperature
- 1 large egg
- 4 Tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, combine dry ingredients. Add butter, egg, milk and extract. Mix on medium speed until a soft dough forms.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least one hour. This helps to prevent the dough from spreading when baked.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Dust your surface with flour and use a rolling pin to roll the dough to 1/4" thickness on the floured surface.
- Use cookie cutters to cut shapes from the dough. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until the cookies are lightly brown around the edges, about 7 minutes.
- Place the cookies on a wire rack to cool before decorating with royal icing.
