Ingredients:
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp of salt
1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1/2 cup of milk (or buttermilk for a tangier flavor)
Optional: 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, fruit, or nuts for added flavor
Directions:
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure it’s at the perfect temperature when your dough is ready.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cream the Butter and Egg: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and egg together until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Combine the Mixtures: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Stir until just combined. If you’re adding chocolate chips or nuts, fold them in at this stage.
Shape and Bake: Spoon or drop the dough onto a greased baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
Cool and Serve: Let the treats cool for a few minutes before serving. They will be warm and delicious!
