3 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla extract, beating until smooth.
Whisk together dry ingredients. Add to creamed mixture and blend until smooth.
Divide dough and flatten each into a round disc to chill more quickly. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour, until dough is slightly firm.

Bake cookies for 8 - 10 minutes, or until lightly golden at edges.
