Soft Sugar Cookies for St. Patrick's Day
There are several of these recipes going around on the internet. Honestly, I have not compared them to see if they are all the same, but I got this one from one of my favorite blogs Annie's Eats.
Soft Frosted Sugar Cookies
Cookie Ingredients:
4½ cups all-purpose flour
4½ tsp. baking powder
¾ tsp. salt
3 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1½ cups sugar
3 large eggs
5 tsp. vanilla extract
4½ cups all-purpose flour
4½ tsp. baking powder
¾ tsp. salt
3 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1½ cups sugar
3 large eggs
5 tsp. vanilla extract
Frosting Ingredients:
5 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
6-8 tbsp. milk
Food coloring (optional)
Sprinkles (optional)
5 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
6-8 tbsp. milk
Food coloring (optional)
Sprinkles (optional)
Use a 1/4 cup scoop to measure the dough for each cookie. Roll the dough into a ball and then flatten it into a disc about one half inch thick. Place the cookies on the parchment lined cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until just set. You don't want them to brown. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for about five minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
To make the frosting, put the confectioners' sugar, butter and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer and mix on medium until combined. Add milk a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency. If you are want colored frosting, add the food coloring and mix until color is well combined. Spread the frosting on the cooled cookies and top with sprinkles, if desired.
