Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 Large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups All purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 12 tablespoons Milk or more if needed; any kind

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl or stand mixer, mix the butter and sugar on medium low speed until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla and continue beating on medium low speed until smooth.
  4. Slowly add the flour and salt just until fully incorporated – do not overmix.
