Feast Your Eyes
First up, let’s get you in the mood with a glimpse of what you’re about to create:
What You’ll Need
Before we dive into the sweet chaos, let’s gather our ingredients. Grab the following:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for frosting)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
- Sprinkles to make it pretty (optional, but we know you want to)
Directions: Let’s Get Baking!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Get that oven nice and toasty; we want a warm welcome for our cookies!
- In a big mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy like clouds dreaming of sugar.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract. Give it a good mix—you want everything to be on speaking terms.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, blending just until combined. Don’t over-mix or your cookies might throw a tantrum!
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dollops of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie because they like to spread their wings.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. They’ll look cute and fluffy, just like little pillows!
- While the cookies cool, whip up the frosting: in a bowl, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until it’s smooth and spreadable.
- Once the cookies are cooled, slather on the frosting, and sprinkle like it’s confetti time!
And there you have it! A batch of soft, frosted sugar cookies that will charm everyone who lays eyes on them. So go on, share the love (or just keep them all to yourself—no judgment here!). Happy baking!
