These Washboard Cookies are simple, buttery, and feature a unique texture, thanks to their signature washboard pattern.

They’re a perfect treat for those moments when you want something easy and comforting, with a touch of nostalgia.

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons milk
Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, until a soft dough forms.

Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Use a fork to gently press down on each dough ball, creating the distinctive washboard pattern.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden brown.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These cookies are the perfect balance of sweetness and texture, offering a simple yet satisfying treat.
