*For the cookies
3 c. all-purpose flour

1 tsp. kosher salt
1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 c. granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tbsp. milk

Directions
Make dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another large bowl using a hand mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer), beat butter and sugar until fluffy and pale in color. Add egg, milk, and vanilla and beat until combined, then add flour mixture gradually until totally combined.
Shape into a disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate 1 hour.
When ready to roll, preheat oven to 350º. Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out dough until 1/4” thick. Cut out gauntlet shaped cookies and transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets.
Bake until edges are lightly golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Make royal icing: In a medium bowl stir together powdered sugar, vanilla, corn syrup, and milk. Add 6 drops of yellow food coloring and stir until well mixed.
Using an offset spatula, frost cooled cookies with royal icing.
