Lofthouse Sugar cookies are those soft cake like sugar cookies you find at Walmart store frosted with a sweet bright buttercream. My daughter always wants me to buy them and they are good. Over time I've worked with a few different recipes that pretty much taste the same and this is the one I ended up with. It's a soft cake...

LOFTHOUSE-STYLE SUGAR COOKIES



Lofthouse-Style Sugar Cookies image

This is a conglomerate of several recipes and suggestions from reviews that I have read in searching for the much-loved Lofthouse cookie recipe. It worked nicely for us, and though it is not EXACTLY the same, they are pretty darn good cookies. Who complains about cookies - honestly? :) Anyway, I recommend using the Recipe #271501 recipe that is posted on this site by ellie3763, but any frosting you desire will all go to the same place....the hips!

Time 30m

Yield 50 cookies, 25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup butter flavor shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon real vanilla
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream the shortening and the sugar.
  • Take the mixer out and, with a wooden spoon, add the egg, whipping cream, and vanilla until thoroughly combined (it will look a bit "stiff"), but do not whip the cream too much.
  • In another bowl, mix the remaining ingredients.
  • Add half the dry mixture at a time to the wet mixture. Only mix until it is thoroughly mixed together. Dough will seem sticky.
  • Roll dough into 1" to 1-1/4" balls and place on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
  • Flatten to 1/3" thick with the flat bottom of a drinking glass. They do not spread much when baking.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
  • Take the cookies out of the oven and move immediately to a wire rack to cool. Frost and decorate as desired.

"LOFTHOUSE" SUGAR COOKIES



These turn out great, though you do have to frost them as soon as their cool enough.

Provided by Char Lowry

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c butter
2 c sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 c sour cream
5 1/2 c flour (until desired consistency for rolling)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425. Cream together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs and sour cream. Mix in dry ingredients. Cover and refigerate overnight. Roll out dough to a 1/4 to 3/8 inch thickness using a generous amount of flour. Cut out shapes and bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 8 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Frost and decorate as desired.
  • 2. Another thing you can do is roll them into balls, if you don't want to go through all the rolling out and cutting.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a cookie scoop: This will help you get evenly sized cookies that bake evenly.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown: This will prevent them from overbaking and becoming dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Use a variety of sprinkles: This will add a fun and festive touch to your cookies.

Conclusion:

Lofthouse sugar cookies are a classic and delicious treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning and effort, you can create beautiful and delicious Lofthouse sugar cookies that will be the hit of any party or gathering.
