THE BEST BUTTERCREAM FROSTING FOR SUGAR COOKIES



The BEST Buttercream Frosting for Sugar Cookies image

The only buttercream frosting recipe you will ever need for Sugar Cookies! Two special ingredients make this the most vanilla-y recipe you ever did taste.

Provided by Karen

Categories     Dessert

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup salted butter (softened (2 sticks))
4 cups powdered sugar (divided)
4-6 tablespoons cream (divided**)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla (I love Mexican vanilla )
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
gel food coloring

Steps:

  • In a large bowl or stand mixer, use the whisk attachment* to beat the softened butter until it is fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Remember to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl!
  • Add half of the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons cream**. Beat well. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
  • Add the remaining powdered sugar and 2 more tablespoons of cream. Beat well.
  • Add salt, vanilla, coconut, and almond extracts. Beat well. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
  • Add remaining 1-2 tablespoons of cream, if needed.
  • Add gel food coloring if you want to tint the frosting. (liquid food coloring can mess with the consistency.)
  • This is enough frosting to do about 2 dozen cookies, but that totally depends on your cookie shape. Frost the cookies (Here's the cookie recipe) and store in a tupperware on the counter for 2-3 days.
  • Leftover frosting is great on graham crackers!

THE SOFTEST SUGAR COOKIES & BUTTERCREAM FROSTING



The Softest Sugar Cookies & Buttercream Frosting image

The best sugar cookies you will ever eat!

Provided by Jenn

Categories     Dessert

Time 28m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
3 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter (softened)
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4-1/3 cup milk
food coloring (if desired)

Steps:

  • In a mixer, cream butter and sugar and then add eggs and vanilla. Add sour cream.
  • In a separate bowl, combine salt, baking soda and flour. Add to butter mixture, creaming until combined. NOTE: If dough seems too sticky to roll out, place in refrigerator for 20 minutes or so and then continue with the next step.
  • Roll out on a floured surface to about 1/4 to 1/3 inches thickness. {Yes, seriously. If you make it any thinner, they will be crispy and not as good! This is the trick to making them super soft!}
  • Cut with cookie cutters and using a spatula, transfer cookies to baking sheet that has either been sprayed with cooking spray or has parchment paper on it.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F for 7-8 minutes {Yes, seriously. This is another important step! Do NOT overbake!} They won't look done, but just trust me on this, take them out of the oven.
  • Wait about 5 minutes and carefully transfer cookies to a cooling rack. (This recipe makes several dozen cookies but is easy to half as well.)
  • In a mixing bowl, cream butter until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar and vanilla until crumbly.
  • Gradually add milk until frosting reaches desired consistency. Add food coloring and stir until combined. Spread on cooled cookies and ENJOY!! They are SO good!

Provided by Julie Klink

Categories     Desserts

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 egg
½ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
food coloring, for decorating
sprinkles, for decorating

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt to combine.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated. Add the sour cream and vanilla and mix until creamy. Add the flour mixture, a third at a time, until fully combined.

  • Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch in between cookies. Bake for 8 minutes, until the cookie bottoms are golden brown and the tops are pale. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack.
  • Make the frosting: in a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric hand mixer until fluffy. Sift in the powdered sugar and mix until incorporated. Add the milk and continue to beat until the frosting is smooth and velvety. Add food coloring, if desired.
  • Frost the cooled cookies and decorate as you wish.

BUTTER ICING FOR SUGAR COOKIES



Butter Icing for Sugar Cookies image

Here's a terrific recipe for icing sugar cookies, no raw egg whites. For any recipes that require egg whites, you can purchase dried, powdered egg whites at cake-decorating supply stores that can be substituted in most recipes calling for the regular raw egg whites, then you can still lick the bowl!

SUGAR COOKIES WITH BUTTERCREAM FROSTING



Sugar Cookies with Buttercream Frosting image

These cookies are melt-in-your-mouth delicious. They are simple to make and kids love to lick the frosting off the tops. Butter flavoring is in the buttercream for added flavor. You can find it in most supermarkets, in the baking aisle, where there are other flavorings such as vanilla.

SOFT SUGAR COOKIES WITH RASPBERRY FROSTING



Soft Sugar Cookies With Raspberry Frosting image

In 1994, Lofthouse Cookies hit American grocery store shelves like a frosted meteorite. If you grew up in the suburbs, then you may have had one: soft, cakey, melt-in-your-mouth. Unlike their clamshell counterparts, which contain margarine, these homemade versions are made with butter and cream cheese, both of which add wonderful flavor that margarine alone does not. Be sure to freeze your dough for the full 15 to 20 minutes: Not only does this chill the fat, helping the cookies maintain their shape in the oven later, but it also allows the flour to hydrate and the flavors to concentrate. A relic of childhood shored into the present, these cookies are not unlike the tops of vanilla cupcakes, devoid at last of their dry, frosting-less bottoms. Freeze-dried raspberries lend a welcome tartness to the buttercream, not to mention a plush, candy-pink hue. (Watch Eric Kim make his Soft Sugar Cookies With Raspberry Frosting here.)

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 55m

Yield About 15 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature
3 ounces/85 grams cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups/285 grams cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Sprinkles, for garnish
1 cup/30 grams freeze-dried raspberries, finely ground in a food processor or spice grinder
1 cup/225 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), at room temperature
2 cups/245 grams confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • Make the cookies: In a large bowl, using a spoon, cream the butter, cream cheese, sugar and salt until smooth and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk to incorporate some air and to dissolve the sugar crystals, about 1 minute. Stir in the flour and baking powder until just incorporated.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and line two rimmed sheet pans with parchment paper. Using two spoons or a cookie scooper, plop out 2-tablespoon/50-gram rounds spaced a couple of inches apart. (You should get about 7 to 8 cookies per sheet pan.) Place the sheet pans in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes until the dough is no longer sticky and easier to handle.
  • While the dough chills, make the frosting: In a fine-mesh sieve set over a medium bowl, sift the ground raspberries, using a spoon to help pass them through, until most of the ruby-red powder is in the bowl and most of the seeds are left behind in the sieve. (Discard the seeds.)
  • To the bowl, add the 1 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt and, with an electric hand mixer, mix on low speed until the butter absorbs the sugar. Then, turn the speed up to high and beat until the frosting doubles in size, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to ensure all the ingredients are incorporated. Transfer the frosting to a small container, cover tightly, and set aside. (You should have about 2 cups of frosting.)
  • Remove the sheet pans from the freezer. Roll the chilled dough into even balls and flatten them slightly with your fingers so they're about 2 inches wide and 1 inch high. Bake the cookies for 13 to 15 minutes, rotating the pans and switching racks halfway through, or until they no longer look wet on top, are still light in color and spring back to the touch. They will puff up and crack slightly. Let cool completely on the sheet pan. (They will continue to cook as they sit.)
  • Using a butter knife or offset spatula, frost each cooled cookie with the raspberry frosting and adorn with the sprinkles.
