Indulgent cookies with irresistible buttercream frosting that kids adore. Enhance the flavor with butter flavoring found easily in supermarkets' baking aisle.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup shortening
  • 1 pound confectioners' sugar
  • 5 tablespoons water
  • 0.25 teaspoon butter flavored extract
Instructions:
  • In a spacious bowl, blend butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla with an electric mixer until creamy. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; gradually fold into butter mixture until fully combined using a strong spoon. Refrigerate dough for 2 hours.
  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness, cut into shapes with cookie cutters, and place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 4 to 6 minutes until golden brown. Transfer the cookies from the pan to wire racks to cool.
  • In an electric mixer, whip together shortening, confectioners sugar, water, salt, vanilla extract, and butter flavoring until light and fluffy. Frost the cookies once they are completely cooled.
