Add the vanilla extract and egg yolk to the mixture. Mix well.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough comes together.
If the dough is too dry, add milk, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Divide the dough into two portions, shape each into a log, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Slice the chilled dough into cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, enjoy your delicious Homemade Butter Cookies!
