Kentucky Butter Cake

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

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

Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

While the cookies are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine unsalted butter, granulated sugar, water, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately brush the warm glaze over the tops of the cookies.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, serve the Kentucky Butter Cake Cookies and enjoy every buttery bite!
