Birthday Cutout Sugar Cookies
/These may be called “birthday sugar cookies” but I approve them to be eaten on any day all year long! Enjoy them for any celebration, special milestones, or also just because you want a tasty dessert. I love making these for fun and adding a small amount of white chocolate to add décor and to add a little extra sweetness. The cookie itself without the chocolate isn’t overly sweet (but more buttery and delicious), so this makes for the ultimate pairing! Adding in the colorful sprinkles makes for a fun burst of color and you can even add different color themes to go with parties, holidays like Christmas, Valentine Day, and more! Hope you enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 cup melted butter
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla ext
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup sprinkles
white chocolate for decorating (can use buttercream if you rather)
Instructions:
Beat butter and sugar together.
2. Add eggs and vanilla extract, and mix well.
In another bowl, sift flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder together, and add little by little to butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk.
Now that your dough is made you will wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours. I like to let mine stay overnight and up to 24 hours. This makes the cutouts come out better on edges.
After dough has chilled and you are ready to roll out. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Be sure to flour surface area, rolling pin and dough to make sure no sticking happens. I am using 360 cookie cutters here! So many amazing designs and shapes!! Shop entire collections -here- (use code AMANDAWARREN20 for 20% off entire site)
Bake for 8-10 minutes on stainless steel pan. After baking place onto cooling rack and decorate once cooled. After decorated ENJOY!!
