Some people like their cookies crunchy and others like them soft. If you’re a softie, you’ll love these cake-like cookies! Not only are they delicious on their own for an after-dinner treat, they are perfect for making sundaes! Just add a scoop of vanilla, a little hot fudge and whipped cream and dessert is served!

2. In a small bowl, cream together the butter (make sure it’s soft), sugar and egg until fluffy.

4. Add the creamy mixture to the dry mixture.
5. Blend it all together and add the milk and vanilla. 
6. Place by spoonfuls onto a buttered or greased cookie sheet and bake for 8 minutes.
