A Guide to Making Delicious Milk Cookies

Milk cookies are beloved for their buttery aroma and tender texture. Here’s a simple yet versatile recipe to satisfy your cravings.

Ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

- 1/4 cup powdered sugar

- 1/2 cup milk powder

- 1 large egg

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 1/2 tsp baking powder

- A pinch of salt

Steps:

1. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.

2. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, milk powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.

4. Chill (Optional): For easier handling, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.

5. Shape and Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll dough into small balls, place on a baking sheet, and flatten slightly. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges turn golden.

Variations:

- Chocolate Chip: Fold in 1/2 cup chocolate chips.

- Oatmeal: Add 1/2 cup rolled oats for chewiness.

- Lemon zest: Enhance with 1 tbsp lemon zest for a citrusy twist.
