I found this recipe here.
Ingredients
- 1 stick of unsalted butter that has been melted
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour. Plus more for rolling out the dough
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt
Glaze
- 1 1/3 cup of confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons of nonpareil sprinkles for decoration (optional)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large bowl whisk together the butter, granulated sugar, vanilla, and eggs until blended.
- Next add the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix until just combined.
- With floured hands, roll level tablespoonfuls of the dough into balls and place on parchment lined baking sheets. Space them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake until puffed and the bottoms are golden. About 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely.
- Then make the glaze. In a small bowl whisk together the confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons of water, and the vanilla until it is a thick but pourable glaze. (I would use even less water as this ran down my cookies.)
- Dip the top of each cookie into the glaze and let set. Place on a cooling rack that is on a sheet of parchment paper. (I used one of the sheets that I baked on and threw it away - no messy cleanup.)
- Sprinkle with nonpareils. Allow to set about 20 minutes.
