Southern Tea Cake Cookies.
Southern Tea Cake Cookies with a vanilla glaze and topped with sprinkles. Love these festive cookies.
Dough is pretty soft to work with and can be dropped onto the cookie sheet by the spoonful. I used a small cookie scoop (affiliate link) to make the dough balls. I hand mixed the cookie dough batter.
These cookies are super soft and cake like.
Recipe makes 24 small sized cookies. Let glaze set for a few minutes. If it is too thin or too thick then add more milk or powdered sugar to change the consistency. Top with sprinkles if you want to make them more colorful and festive. If not using salted butter, add 1/4 teaspoon salt.
