Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
2 tbsp milk (for glaze)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart. Slightly flatten each cookie.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are golden and centers remain soft.
For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth; drizzle over warm cookies.
