3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Directions:
Pre-heat your oven to 350°F (180°C), then line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Cream together the butter and the sugar until pale and fluffy.

Add eggs and vanilla and mix until just combined.

Stir in salt, baking powder and flour and mix until a dough is formed. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour*

After 1 hour, roll the cookies into 1 tablespoon balls. Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet and press down to create a 1/4 inch thick cookie.

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until slightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.

While the cookies are baking make the icing: Using a whisk, combine the powdered sugar, butter, milk and vanilla until you have a smooth thick icing.

Using a small offset spatula frost the cookies then scatter over sprinkles. Allow to set for about 30 minutes.

Once set, cover and store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
