Cookie Ingredients

Buttercream Frosting Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350˚F (175˚C). 

  2. In your main mixing bowl, add shortening, egg, white sugar, vanilla extract, sour cream together and mix.

  4. Sift in flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and mix.

  5. Rub some flour on a clean surface and roll out your dough to about 1/2” thick. This dough is very sticky and is a little tricky to roll out. Don't be afraid to use a lot of flour to assist you. :-)

  6. Cut out cookies with a simple cookie cutter shape and place on a baking tray that is lined with parchment about 2" apart. 

  7. Bake for 10 minutes.

  8. Start your icing while your cookies are cooling. Clean and dry your main mixing bowl. Then, add softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, milk together and mix on medium speed until buttercream is light and fluffy. About 3-5 minutes. 

  9. When your cookies are completely cooled, ice them with the homemade buttercream. You can also add some sprinkles on your cookies to add a little bit of color and sweetness. Enjoy! :-)
