1 tablespoon whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 325 Fahrenheit and grease baking sheets.
2. Cream softened butter in a mixer until light and airy.
3. Add sifted flour, sugar, milk, and vanilla; mix until a velvety dough forms.
4. Roll half the dough to 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
5. Cut into desired shapes and place on prepared sheets.
6. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Notes
Sift both the flour and sugar to ensure a smooth texture.
Chill the cut shapes for 10 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
Use high-quality pure vanilla extract for the best flavor profile.
