Step 1 

INSTRUCTIONS

Beat butter and brown sugar until frothy with a medium-speed electric mixer. After adding each egg, stir well. Mix in vanilla.  

Step 2

Lower mixer speed. Add flour mixture slowly, mixing just until incorporated. Refrigerate dough for an hour.  

Step 3

Preheat oven to 350°F. Cover baking sheets with parchment or silicone. On prepared pans, drop 2-tablespoon amounts of dough. Flatten each cookie's top slightly.  

Step 4

Bake 12–14 minutes until cookie edges are golden. Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling.  

Step 5

To make icing: Mix confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons milk. The glaze should be thick but pourable, so add milk a teaspoon at a time.  

Step 6

Glaze each cooled cookie. For icing to set, place cookies on waxed paper.
