Ingredients

Sugar Cookies

Buttercream Frosting

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° and lightly grease a baking sheet(s).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt together. Set aside.
  • Using a large bowl, add softened butter, oil and sour cream, and beat on medium speed for one minute.
  • Add sugar and vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
  • Add dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix on low speed just until dough forms a ball.
  • Using a two-inch cookie scoop, scoop out the cookie dough and place on the prepared baking sheet. Leave the rough looking edges.
  • Using the bottom of a glass, flatten each cookie a bit to produce even more of the jagged edges.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly browned.
  • Remove cookies from oven and let cool for 5 minutes and then remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Buttercream Frosting
  • In a medium mixing bowl, cream butter, milk and vanilla together. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until smooth and creamy.
  • Add gel coloring, stir, and add additional food coloring to get desired results, if desired.
  • Once cookies have cooled completely, frost cookies with a generous amount of frosting, then sprinkle with coarse sugar, add Easter sprinkles of your choice.
  • Let the frosting setup then place cookies in a container for storing and place parchment paper in between the layers.
