1 large egg
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract

Milk (to mix with powdered sugar for icing)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder until combined.
In another bowl, cream the softened butter with brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing.
