Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Step 2

Combine confectioner's sugar, evaporated milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in a small bowl.

Beat butter and white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Mix in egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Gradually add flour mixture to creamed mixture, mixing well. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet; make an indentation with finger in center of each cookie.
