Preheat the oven to 180u00b0C/350u00b0F.
2
In a big bowl cream butter, sugar and vanilla. Little by little add the milk and the eggs.

Using 2 tablespoons drop 6 heaps of dough onto each paper-lined baking sheet (you will need 2). Make sure to leave enough space in between the heaps as dough will spread during baking.

Idea: For children you can spread the curved side of the biscuit with a chocolate icing and stick slivered almonds into them to make them appear like little hedgehogs. :).
