Ingredients

6 ounces powdered sugar
4 ounces margarine (or butter)
4 ounces unsalted butter (softened)
1 large egg (room temperature)
13 ounces cake flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract (or real extract is ok )
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 ounces unsalted butter (softened)
16 ounces powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 ounces milk
1/2 teaspoon electric pink food coloring (Americolor brand)
2 Tablespoons rainbow sprinkles
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

In the bowl of your stand mixer with the whisk attachment (or you can use a hand mixer) cream together the butter, margarine and powdered sugar until light and fluffy
Add in your vanilla, almond extract and egg and mix on medium until combined
Add in your baking soda, baking powder, salt, cream of tartar and cornstarch and mix until combined
Switch to the paddle attachment and mix in your cake flour just until combined. Do not overmix (or you can do this by hand)
Scoop your batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet with a medium-sized cookie scoop (or you can use a spoon)
Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 2 hours (or up to 24 hours)
Preheat your oven to 375ºF
Roll the chilled dough into balls and then flatten with your fingers into cookies that are about 1/2" thick and 3" wide. Arrange on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake your cookies for 8-9 minutes or just until the sheen disappears from the top of the cookie. Place onto a cooling rack to cool fully before frosting with buttercream and finishing with sprinkles
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze
In the bowl of your stand mixer (or using a hand mixer) cream your butter until smooth using the whisk attachment
Start adding your powdered sugar while mixing on low until it's all incorporated.
Add in your vanilla, milk, salt, and food coloring and mix until smooth.
Pipe on top of the cookies with a round tip (I used an 804) and top with sprinkles

Time 1h50m

Yield 18 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

3 cups cake flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Light pink gel food coloring, for coloring the frosting
Confetti sprinkles, for decorating

Steps:

For the cookie dough: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
Whisk the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Mix the granulated sugar, butter and sour cream in the bowl of an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and egg and mix until combined. Reduce the speed to low, add the flour mixture and mix until just combined, about 1 minute.
Using a 2-tablespoon ice cream scoop, drop level scoopfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, making sure to leave 2 inches between each cookie. Dip the bottom of a glass cup into some cake flour. Gently press the cup on top of each mound of dough and flatten until you get a 1 1/2-inch circle, flouring the bottom of the cup as needed. Use a wet finger to smooth out any rough sides.
Bake until the cookies puff up and are pale yellow and barely starting to brown on the bottoms, about 20 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
For the frosting: Meanwhile, mix the confectioners' sugar, butter, cream, vanilla and 2 drops of the pink food coloring in the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix until light, fluffy and almost doubled in size, about 3 minutes.
Frost the cookies with the frosting and sprinkle with confetti sprinkles.

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. I prefer to use a mixing spoon over an electric mixer since the dough will be very stiff.

Makes around 24 cookies.

Tips:

Always cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help to create a soft and chewy cookie.
Use a combination of cornstarch and flour for the perfect soft and chewy texture.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to create a crisp exterior and a soft and chewy interior.
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

So next time you're craving a delicious and festive cookie, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
