Cookies and Milk Recipe

American · Dessert · 27 min total

A classic American treat pairing crisp, buttery cookies with a cold glass of milk. This recipe guides you to make simple sugar cookies that are perfect for dunking.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
• 2 cups cold milk (for serving)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda; set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
4. Add egg and vanilla; beat until combined.
5. Gradually add flour mixture, beating on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Place 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in sugar to coat.
7. Place balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve cookies with a glass of cold milk for dipping.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the sugar coating.
• Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
• For best dunking, use whole milk or 2% milk.
