Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup white sugar
2 large eggs room temperature
2 tablespoons milk room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour plus extra for rolling out
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 ounces sanding sugar optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Cream together the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract. Gently mix in the flour and baking powder just until combined.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour to chill.
Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper and dust both sides lightly with flour. Top the dough with another sheet of parchment paper and roll it until it’s about 1/3 of an inch thick. Place the cookie dough in the freezer for five minutes to firm up. Cut out 2-inch rounds from the dough.
Place the cookie rounds onto the sheet pan, leaving about an inch between each cookie.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until the cookies are golden brown. As soon as you take them out of the oven, sprinkle the sanding sugar over the top.
Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet pan.
