Description
Soft, sweet cookies with a bright icing that taste like the store-bought kind. Perfect for kids and adults alike!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (113 g)
- 3 oz cream cheese (80 g)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 2 ¼ cup cake flour (300 g)
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set them aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy, approximately 5 minutes using a mixer at medium speed.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
- Sift the cake flour, baking powder, and salt into the bowl and mix together until fully combined.
- Scoop or spoon balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet. Repeat until all dough has been used.
- Loosely cover the cookie dough balls and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator, lightly roll the scoops into a ball and lightly mash down on the tops.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until just beginning to turn golden on the edges.
- Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Cool completely before icing and topping with sprinkles.
Notes
Use cake flour for the light texture. Chill the dough for better shape and don’t overbake; take them out when edges just turn light gold.
