Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Roll each ball in additional sugar.
- Place the sugar-coated balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them.
- Flatten each cookie slightly with the bottom of a glass or your palm.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
