Ingredients

• 226 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 120 grams Farina (semolina)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 20 grams Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for best results.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, farina, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until a crumbly dough forms.

Step 6

Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, and mix just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 8

Gently flatten each ball with the palm of your hand to form a small disc. If desired, press a fork lightly into the top to create a decorative pattern.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake as the cookies should remain soft.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar if desired. Serve and enjoy!
