Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the butter and sugar. Cream together with an electric hand mixer until the butter is light and fluffy,
- Add the egg and milk, and continue beating until smooth. Set aside.
- In medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat to combine until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to ¼-inch (¾ cm) thick. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters of your choice. Re-roll the excess dough and cut out more shapes until all of the dough is used. Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cookies are firm around the edges but still soft at the centers. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the frosting: In a large bowl, combine the powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and condensed milk. Beat with an electric hand mixer until creamy and smooth. Divide the frosting between smaller bowls and add food coloring, if desired.
- Decorate the cookies with the frosting, sprinkles, and candies.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 200 °C (392 °F). Turn your oven to the bake setting and set it to 200 °C (392 °F). Place the oven rack in the middle shelf of the oven. This will help the butter cookies to cook evenly. Most ovens take at least 10 minutes to heat up.
- Measure 1 cup (225 g) of butter and 1 cup (200 g) of sugar into a mixing bowl. White sugar works best for making butter cookies, however, if you only have raw sugar, use that instead. If the butter has been in the fridge, leave it on a plate at room temperature for 30 minutes to soften. This will make it much easier to mix. Use a large mixing bowl to allow plenty of room to mix the ingredients.
- Cream the butter and sugar until they are light and fluffy. Use an electric beater to combine the ingredients until the butter lightens in colour and mixture looks fluffy. Set the beater to the highest setting to speed up the process and to make the mixture extra fluffy. It generally takes 5 minutes of beating to cream the mixture.Tip: If you don't have an electric beater, use a dessert spoon instead. This will take longer but will eventually achieve the same result. White sugar works best for making butter cookies, however, if you only have raw sugar, use that instead.
- Stir the egg and vanilla into the mixture. Add 2 teaspoon (10mL) of vanilla essence and an egg to the bowl. Use the electric mixer to stir the ingredients until they are thoroughly combined and any lumps have been crushed. If you are using an egg that has been in the pantry or fridge for a while, crack it into a cup first to check that it hasn't gone rotten. This is also a good way to avoid getting shell in the mixture.
- Stir the salt and flour in a separate bowl. Measure ¼ teaspoon (1.42 grams) of salt and 2 ⅔ cups (241 grams) of flour into a medium-sized bowl. Stir the ingredients together with a spoon to disperse the salt amongst the flour. Use the back of the spoon to crush any lumps in the mixture. All-purpose flour works best for this recipe, however, if you only have wholemeal flour, use this instead.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the batter. Pour the flour and salt into the middle of the large bowl. Set the electric beater to the lowest setting and mix the ingredients until they are combined.Note: Stop mixing once the ingredients are combined as over-mixing can cause the mixture to dry out.
- Cover the bowl of dough and place it in the fridge for 1 hour. This cools the dough and helps the cookies to retain their shape when they are cooked. Cover the bowl of dough with cling wrap to stop the dough from absorbing the different smells in the fridge. If you don't have cling wrap, place the dough into an airtight container.

Steps:
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add the butter and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on high speed for a full 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl halfway through the mixing; the butter should be very light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat on medium speed until well combined. Add half the dry ingredients and beat on low speed to combine. Scrape down the mixing bowl before adding the remaining dry ingredients and beat to combine. Refrigerate for 1 hour in the bowl for drop cookies, or form into a 1-inch log for slice-and-bake cookies.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the turbinado sugar in a small bowl. For drop cookies, scoop the cookie dough with a 1 tablespoon-size cookie scoop and then dip the tops of the cookie dough balls into the sugar. Place onto the prepared baking sheet.
- For slice-and-bake cookies, cut the log into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Press the tops into the sugar and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the cookies until slightly puffed and lightly golden on the bottom, about 15 minutes.

BROWN BUTTER COOKIES
Using butter (NOT margarine) is essential for the success of this rich, but highly addictive cookie! You may need as little as 3 cups confectioners' sugar for the icing; just stop adding it when you've reached the desired consistency.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Heat butter over medium heat for 5 minutes or so, until it turns nut brown in color. The foaming and bubbling is part of the browning process, but watch it carefully so that you don't burn the butter. Remove from heat, and cool slightly. Reserve 1/2 cup of the butter for the frosting.
- Pour remaining browned butter into a large mixing bowl. Beat browned butter with brown sugar until the butter is no longer hot. Mix in eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat thoroughly. Mix in flour and chopped pecans. Drop tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until light brown around the edges. Cool.
- In a medium bowl, mix the reserved 1/2 cup browned butter with 2 teaspoons vanilla, confectioners' sugar, and hot water. Beat until smooth, and use to frost cooled cookies.
