Default Buttery, Chewy, Sugar Cookies

Last night I made a triple batch of my favorite sugar cookie recipe. These are so buttery and chewy and delicious. The two important keys to making them taste so good, #1 don't overwork the dough, #3 don't overbake them. The kids are all coming for Sunday dinner and I wanted to have enough to send home with them. Today I am frosting all of those cookies and wondering "What was I thinking making a triple batch?"

1/2 cup butter at room temperature
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp pure vanilla
1/4 cup milk
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
4 cups flour (or more)
Bake 7-8 minutes at 350 degrees. Do not let the edges brown if you want them to be chewy. If you like a crisper cookie you can bake them a little longer.
