Yield: 12 cookies
Cuisine: German
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened; 3/4 cup granulated sugar; 2 large eggs; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1/2 cup milk; 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar; 2-3 tablespoons milk; 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; Assorted sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be sure not to overbake to keep the cookies soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
Once the cookies have cooled, spoon the glaze over the top of each cookie, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Decorate with assorted sprinkles while the glaze is still wet to ensure they stick.
Let the glaze set before serving.
