Beat butter with sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Mix in eggs one at a time.
Add in milk and vanilla and mix until completely blended.
Blend in flour and baking powder.
Pour 1/2 cup batter for each cookie onto parchment lined baking sheet and spread to 5 inch round with a small offset spatula.
Bake for 15 minutes at 375 degrees.
Don't brown cookies.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet completely. They will not transfer easily, they are a cake like cookie.
