Super Soft and Delicious Sugar Cookies
I {Love} sugar cookies, the buttercream frosting frosted on a nice soft cookie and add sprinkles it one of the best cookies out there! I love to bake and share my treats I make so I just wanted to share my recipe for everyone to enjoy. Its a pretty basic recipe but something about homemade cookies is just amazing...
Here is what you'll need:
1 cup room temp. butter
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
3 tsp. vanilla
1 cup plain greek yogurt
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
5 1/2 cups flour
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream together butter and sugar, then add your eggs and vanilla. After that is creamed mix in your greek yogurt. Once you have mixed together your ingredients add in salt, baking soda then gradually mix in the flour. Need the cookie dough on a floured surface and roll out to about 1/4in. This will make them thick and soft.
Once you have rolled out and cut the cookie dough to your likings then put them on to a greased cookie sheet. Bake for about 7-8 minutes. NOTE: These cookies will not be golden and not look done this is how they STAY soft. The more golden they are when cooking in the oven the less soft they become. I have found that cooking them for about 7minutes and like 30 seconds give or take that makes them perfect.
Once they cookies have been transferred to be cooled you are ready to frost. My most favorite frosting is a buttercream frosting.
What you'll need:
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4-1/3 cup milk
In a bowl, cream butter. Mix in the sugar and vanilla until completely mixed and crumbly. Slowly add milk until frosting reaches your desired consistency. Then if you want to add in food coloring to make it and color you'd like. And don't forget your sprinkles.
{Vuala} your cookies are done! Enjoy!
Note: With this recipe I made about 36 cookies if making for a big group or cookie lovers like myself i suggest doubling the recipe.
