36 servings
3 hours total (Active 30 minutes)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Plastic wrap
  • Cooking spray
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps

    1. Set butter out to soften. Place butter and granulated sugar in large bowl; beat with electric mixer on HIGH until light in color. Add egg and milk; beat until well blended.
    2. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in separate bowl; add to butter mixture gradually, beating with mixer on LOW until dough pulls away from sides of bowl. Divide dough in half and wrap in plastic wrap; chill 2 hours.
    3. Preheat oven to 375°F; coat 2 baking sheets with spray. Sprinkle work surface with powdered sugar. Remove 1 pack of dough from refrigerator at a time. Sprinkle rolling pin with powdered sugar and roll dough out to ¼-inch thickness. (Move dough around and check underneath frequently to make sure it is not sticking.)
    4. Cut dough with cookie cutters; arrange at least 1 inch apart on baking sheets. Bake 7–9 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through bake time, until edges of cookies are golden. Cool 2 minutes on pan, then move to wire racks to cool completely. Store in airtight container up to 1 week. Makes 36 (3-inch) cookies.

Do not eat raw dough/batter.
