Can’t stop baking these cookies – third night in a row!.

1 cup unsalted butter, softened (don’t rush this — room temp butter is half the magic)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract — the real stuff if you can swing it
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons milk — whole milk’s best if you have it
