# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 175°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly blended.
03 -
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugars until light and creamy.
04 -
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
05 -
Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, mixing just until a cohesive dough forms.
06 -
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 5 cm apart.
07 -
Gently flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon to create a rounded, donut-like disc.
08 -
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges turn lightly golden.
09 -
Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
10 -
In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, softened butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
11 -
Add pink food coloring if desired and mix until the color is evenly distributed.
12 -
Once fully cooled, spread a generous layer of pink frosting over the top of each cookie.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure the cookies are completely cooled before frosting to prevent the icing from melting and sliding off.
02 -
For a classic donut look, add colorful sprinkles over the frosting while it is still soft.
