Ingredients

  • 80 g (1/3 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 200 g (1 cup) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 240 ml (1 cup) whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 300 g (2 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 250 g (2 cups) confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tbsp light corn syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 45 ml (3 tbsp) water, divided
  • 15 g (2 tbsp) unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the milk and vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Drop 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie as they will spread.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let them cool completely.
  8. For the glaze, mix the confectioners’ sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl until smooth.
  9. Transfer half of the glaze to another bowl, and stir in the cocoa powder and remaining tablespoon of water into one bowl to create the chocolate glaze.
  10. Spread the vanilla glaze onto half of each cookie and let it set for a few minutes.
  11. Once set, spread the chocolate glaze onto the other half of each cookie. Allow the glaze to set completely before serving.
