One of my favorite parts of this recipe? That I didn't have to refrigerate the dough or roll it out and cut it with cookie cutters. I love seeing other peoples cookies like that but sometimes they are just way too much work for me! These cookies were quite good and light!
Frosted Soft Sugar Cookies
Recipe Came from Gingerbread Bagels
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup shortening
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
5-6 Tablespoons whole milk
1 vanilla extract
Sprinkles
Whisk together the flour, baking powder and kosher salt.
In a bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix together the shortening, butter and sugar for about 4 minutes.
Add in the eggs and vanilla. Mix.
Slowly add in the dry ingredients on low speed. Mix until just combined. Take a spatula and fold the ingredients together.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scooper, scoop the cookie dough. Roll the dough into balls. Place the cookie dough balls on the parchment paper (place them about 2 inches apart) and bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees.
Cool completey on a cooling rack before frosting.
While the cookies are cooling, make the frosting.
Sift the powdered sugar.
In a bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix together the shortening and powdered sugar. Add in the milk. Mix.
Then add in the vanilla extract and mix on medium high speed until smooth.
Frost the cookies with frosting and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!
