Kentucky Butter Cake Cookies ### Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Don’t overbake; we want these cookies soft!
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle the buttery glaze over each cookie. Let it set for a few minutes, and then they’re ready to enjoy!

There you have it! A delightful and delicious cookie that will make your heart smile. These Kentucky Butter Cake Cookies are perfect for sharing, but trust me, you might just want to keep them all to yourself!
