Easy Sugar Cookie Cake image

Topped with vanilla buttercream for the perfect cookie and frosting combo, this Sugar Cookie Cake is tender, chewy, and simple to make. It's perfect for birthdays, holidays and any day you need a little cookie treat!

Provided by Lindsay

Categories     Cake

Time 1h17m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 3/4 cups (358g) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup (224g) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup + 2 tbsp (181g) granulated sugar
2 tbsp (28g) light brown sugar
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups (230g) powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1-2 tbsp cream or water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a 9 inch cake pan with parchment paper in the bottom and baking spray on the sides. Set aside.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
  • Cream the butter and sugars together in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until light in color and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. You should be able to see the change in color and texture and know it's ready.
  • Add the egg and mix until well combined.
  • Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until the dough is just well combined. Do not over mix. Once it's well combined, use a rubber spatula to help it come together to form a more cohesive ball.
  • Press the cookie dough evenly into the cake pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges just begin to turn golden.
  • Allow to cool completely in the pan. It will firm up as it cools.
  • Once cool, quickly invert the cookie onto a cooling rack. Quickly place another cooling rack on the bottom of the cookie (which is now facing up) and invert again, so that the cookie cake is upright.
  • To make the buttercream, add the butter to a large mixer bowl and beat until smooth.
  • Add about half of the powdered sugar and mix until well combined and smooth.
  • Add the vanilla extract and a tablespoon of cream or water and mix until well combined and smooth.
  • Add the rest of the powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Add more cream or water to get the right consistency.
  • Place the buttercream in a piping bag fitted with a piping tip (I used Ateco 847) and pipe shells of frosting around the outer edge of the cake.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 1h

Yield Makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with one rack in upper third and another in lower third. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda; set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer on medium-high, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 2 to 4 minutes. Add egg and vanilla; beat well to combine.
  • With mixer on low, add half the flour mixture, followed by sour cream, then remaining flour mixture; mix just until smooth. (Dough will be stiff; you may need to finish mixing it by hand with a wooden spoon.)
  • Drop mounds of dough, each equal to about 3 tablespoons, 3 to 4 inches apart, onto two ungreased baking sheets; sprinkle with sugar. Bake until edges of cookies are just firm and tops are barely beginning to brown, 20 to 25 minutes, rotating sheets once halfway through. Transfer cookies to a rack to cool.

BIG SOFT SUGAR COOKIES



Big Soft Sugar Cookies image

Great cookies for a cold winter night. I only make these on special occasions. I got this out of an old Working Mother's magazine.

Provided by Color Guard Mom

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Yield 24 cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup coarse sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease large cookie sheets.
  • In medium bowl, mix first 4 ingredients until well combined; set aside.
  • In large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, cream butter and 1 cup of the granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in sour cream, eggs and vanilla.
  • Beat in half the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in remaining flour mixture with a spoon (dough will be very soft). Spoon dough by heaping tablespoons on prepared baking sheets about 3 inches apart, making about 24 cookies.
  • Butter the base of a flat bottomed glass that about 3 inches wide. Dip bottom of glass into the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Use sugared glass to flatten cookies into 3 inch rounds, coating bottom of glass with sugar each time.
  • Sprinkle cookies with some coarse sugar.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until tops spring back when lightly pressed. (Cookies will be very light in color).
  • Immediately remove to racks to cool.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter and eggs. This will help the cookies spread and bake evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies soft and chewy.
  • Gradually add the eggs, one at a time. This will help prevent the dough from curdling.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before frosting.

Conclusion:

These big, soft sugar cookie cakes are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
