Ingredients
Lofthouse Sugar Cookie Ingredients:
- 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ teaspoon almond extract
Frosting Ingredients:
- store-bought buttercream frosting
- Red food dye
- Pink, red, and white sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add parchment paper to a baking sheet.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Grab a smaller bowl and add the butter and sugar into a smaller bowl. Mix with a hand mixer of medium speed until the batter is smooth.
- Add the egg, sour cream, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter and sugar mixture, then beat again until the wet ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Combine the dry and wet ingredients and mix on low/medium speed until the batter forms a dough.
- Roll the dough into a large ball, then make it slightly flat and cover it with plastic wrap.
- Chill the cookie dough in the fridge for an hour.
- Place the dough on a clean, floured surface and use a rolling pan to roll the dough to 1/4 inch thickness.
- Cut out the cookies using a heart-shaped cookie cutter. Put the cookies on the baking sheet.
- Grab any leftover dough and form a ball. Roll it out, and cut out more heart cookies. Repeat to use as much of the dough as possible.
- Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-9 minutes or until the edges start to brown.
- As the cookies are baking, open the store-bought frosting and add red dye until the frosting reaches the desired color. You'll need to stir well to make sure all of the dye is incorporated into the frosting.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool down completely. This will take 20 minutes or so.
- Add a layer of frosting on each cooled cookie, add sprinkles before the icing sets.
