Frosted Sugar Cookies Recipe For Easter Day 2024

Frosted Sugar Cookies Recipe For Easter Day 2024: These are the perfect sugar cookie: they are chewy in the middle and crispy on the outside, thick and flavorful. Because they can be cut and decorated to fit any theme, they are ideal for the holidays! To create an Easter atmosphere, I utilized pastel colors and a bunny-shaped cookie cutter.

I’ve had a lot of nasty sugar cookies in my lifetime for some reason. I wasn’t sure if these cookies were a bust or if I was hanging out with the wrong people. Naturally, I had to attempt to resolve this issue on my own. I made two key discoveries: cookies need to be thick in order to avoid being dry and crunchy, and they need to have flavor in order to avoid being boring and uninteresting.

Ingredients

Instructions

• In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar together until white and fluffy, about 3 minutes. A hand mixer can also be used for this.

• Blend in the egg and vanilla bean paste until well combined. For equal mixing, make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

• Mix in the baking powder, flour, and salt. To prevent the flour from rising, mix gently until just incorporated. Avoid over-mixing!

• Dust the counter with flour. Roll up the dough and put it on the countertop. Dust the dough ball’s top lightly with flour.
  Roll the dough out to a thickness of 1cm, or roughly the width of your pinky, using a rolling pin.

• Using a cookie cutter, cut out shapes and transfer to baking pans coated with silicone or paper. We are not baking yet, so don’t worry about how far apart they are!

• Roll up the leftover scraps of dough into a ball and mix with 1 tablespoon of milk. On the counter, knead by hand until incorporated, then roll out and continue!

• After using up all of the dough, place plastic wrap or aluminum foil over the cookie sheets and refrigerate for at least one hour, or up to two days if completely sealed.

• Turn the oven on to 350°. Place the cookies back on the cookie sheets, spacing them apart by a few cm. Bake for thirteen to fifteen minutes. When the edges are golden, the cookies are done.

• Before decorating, allow cookies to cool completely.

TIPS

• These cookies are so good, you could eat them by themselves! However, there are two simple ways to decorate if you decide to do so. The first technique I used as a child was called “easy icing.” All you have to do is combine milk and icing sugar to make a paste, then coat the cookies with it. Simple as pie!

• As an alternative, prepare some royal icing. Several recipes exist for creating this from scratch. However, I don’t own one. I use a royal icing mix without eggs that I purchase from Bulk Barn (see packaging photo below). All you need to do is whisk in the water! Since it’s so much easier to pipe designs, this is how I like to decorate.
