Yield: 30 cookies

Ingredients

  1. ¾ cup white sugar
  2. ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  3. ¼ cup whole milk
  4. 3 large eggs
  5. 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  6. 3 cups all-purpose flour
  7. 1 tablespoon baking powder
  8. ¼ teaspoon salt
  9. 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  10. 3 ½ tablespoons water
  11. ½ cup colored candy sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a large cookie sheet.
  2. Whisk together sugar, butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl until blended.
  3. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add to the wet ingredients and stir until evenly blended. Cover the surface of the dough with plastic wrap or waxed paper and let stand for 5 minutes.
  4. With floured hands, shape dough by level tablespoon into 1-inch balls. Place balls 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until puffed on top and light brown on the bottom, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool, about 30 minutes. Shape remaining dough into cookies and baking instructions.
  6. Whisk together confectioners’ sugar and water in a small bowl until blended. Dip the top of each cooled cookie into the glaze, then place on a wire rack set over waxed paper (this will catch any drips.) Immediately sprinkle cookies with candy sprinkles. Allow glaze to set for about 20 minutes.
