Sugar Cookies: Sweet and Soft Perfection

Sugar Cookies: Sweet and Soft Perfection

Soft, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, these sugar cookies are made with our Organic All-Purpose Flour and topped with a rich cream cheese almond frosting.

Ingredients:

Sugar Cookie Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 4 ½ cups Farm2Flour All-Purpose Flour

Cream Cheese Almond Frosting

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz cold cream cheese
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 2-4 cups powdered sugar (adjust for desired sweetness and consistency)
  • 1-2 tbsp milk, as needed, to thin the frosting

Directions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a stand mixer or large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in Wet Ingredients: Add the sour cream, egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, baking powder, salt, and All-Purpose Flour. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, one cup at a time, until the dough is soft but firm enough to roll. If the dough feels too sticky, add an extra tablespoon of flour.
  5. Roll and Cut Dough: Lightly flour your work surface. Roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out shapes, then transfer them to the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Bake: Bake the cookies at 400°F for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn a light golden brown. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. 

  7. Beat Butter and Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and cold cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Add Almond Extract and Sugar: Add almond extract, then gradually mix in the powdered sugar until the frosting reaches your desired sweetness and consistency. If the frosting is too thick, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until smooth and spreadable.
  9. Frost and Decorate: Once the cookies are fully cooled, spread or pipe the frosting on top. Decorate with sprinkles or colored sugar, if desired.

These sugar cookies are a delightful treat for any occasion—soft, sweet, and beautifully frosted to perfection. Enjoy every bite!
