This is the ultimate frosted sugar cookie recipe! These large bakery-style sugar cookies have a tender, fluffy texture and a big swirl of frosting on top. They stay soft for days, so they’re a great make-ahead recipe as well.

Ingredients

  • 12.5 oz all-purpose flour ((2 ¾cups))
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 6 oz unsalted butter ((¾ cup), at room temperature)
  • 7 oz granulated sugar ((1 cup))
  • 1 large egg (at room temperature)
  • 1 TBSP vanilla extract
  • 2 oz sour cream ((1/4 cup), at room temperature)
  • 2 fl oz milk ((1/4 cup))
  • 4 oz unsalted butter ((1/2 cup), at room temperature)
  • 12 oz powdered sugar ((3 cups))
  • 2 TBSP milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Sprinkles (to decorate)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. For the best results, I recommend using non-insulated aluminum baking sheets.

  2. 2

    Beat the butter with an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, until creamy and light in color.
