Frosted Sugar Cookies

Do you know those cookies you buy at the grocery store? The ones that have been at every birthday and potluck since… ever?

I made it my goal to make them and they turned out perfectly.

These were originally from Sugar Hero.

Ingredients:

For the Cookies:

1 1/2 sticks butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup coffee creamer
2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

For the Frosting:

1 stick butter, room temperature
3 cups powdered sugar
3-4 Tbsp coffee creamer
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

For the Cookies:

Preheat oven to 350˚F.

In a mixer cream butter and sugar for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.

Add egg, vanilla, sour cream and coffee creamer. I used a flavoured coffee creamer you find at the grocery store.

Add flour, baking soda and salt and mix well.

Place golf ball sized balls of dough on a cookie sheet, flatten slightly, and bake for 16-18 minutes.

Wait until the cookies are cooled to frost.

For the Frosting:

Cream butter. Add powdered sugar, coffee creamer, vanilla extract and salt.

Frost the cookies by placing a dollop of icing and spread evenly. Top with sprinkles.
