Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• ¼ cup butter
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• optional ~ powdered sugar to dust

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C
• Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat. Set aside.
• In the bowl of the stand mixer beat butter and sugar together for 1 minute until mixed. Add in eggs and vanilla and mix until incorporated, scraping sides as necessary.
• Add in baking powder and salt, continuing to mix and finally the flour. Mix until dough just comes together.
• Using a medium (2 tablespoon) cookie scoop drop the dough onto the lined baking sheet. Alternately you can roll the dough into balls if you want a thicker cookie.
• Bake for 9-11 minutes until the edges are slightly golden. Dont over-bake.
• While the cookies are baking combine all ingredients into a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Do not bring to a boil.
• Allow the glaze to cool slightly (about 5 minutes) to thicken.
• When the cookies are done spoon one teaspoon of the glaze onto each cookie while theyre warm. If the glaze gets too thick just heat it up a bit more.
• Dust with powdered sugar after the glaze has set if desired.
