Do You Love Those Big, Fat, Pink Frosted, Lofthouse Sugar Cookies?
This sugar cookie recipe bakes up super soft. Follow my recipe and roll the dough thick and you'll get a soft, flaky sugar cookie that melts in your mouth.
Soft Sugar Cookie Recipe
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
Add:
3 beaten eggs (or egg substitute)
1 tsp. vanilla
Sift and mix with sugar mixture:
3 cups flour
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
Roll dough on lightly floured surface and cut with a simple cookie cutter. I cut these cookies thick, about 1/2 inch. *This is a really soft dough, try not to add too much flour so your cookies will stay soft and moist.
Bake @ 425 for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden.
Basic Frosting Recipe
Please See the Video Below for a Royal Icing Recipe and Tutorial
3 c. powdered sugar
3 tbsp. cream or milk
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
Beat together all ingredients until smooth.
*You can also add a little extra milk or cream to the recipe to thin it down into a glaze. This makes frosting really easy! Just turn the cookies upside down and dip in the glaze and let it roll down the sides or set cookies on a cooking rack and drizzle the glaze over the top. (Make sure you allow plenty of time for the glaze to dry before stacking.)
