How to Make Baltimores Berger Finest Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two large baking sheets.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the cookies cool, prepare the chocolate icing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  9. Once the cookies are completely cool, frost generously with the chocolate icing, aiming for about ½ inch thickness.
  10. Let the icing set before serving and enjoy your Baltimore Berger Finest Cookies!
