Tips:

  • Prep measured ingredients. Before starting to bake, have all ingredients measured and ready. Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Room temperature ingredients. Bring butter, eggs, and milk to room temperature before mixing. This will help them blend more evenly.
  • Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Use an electric mixer to cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a more tender cookie.
  • Add eggs one at a time. Beat in eggs one at a time, waiting until each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients. Add flour and baking powder to the wet ingredients gradually, mixing until just combined.
  • Chill the dough. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and cutting. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake cookies until the edges are golden brown. Bake cookies in a preheated oven until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Do not over-bake, as this will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Cool cookies completely before decorating. Let cookies cool completely on a wire rack before decorating. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
