3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the milk until a soft dough forms.

Notes
For a more pronounced vanilla flavor, use 2 vanilla beans. You can also add a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for a subtle spice note. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
