Celebrating America’s 250th with the softest frosted sugar cookies and lots of sprinkles! 🇺🇸🦅🎆❤️ Recipe: Cookies 1 cup unsalted butter (softened) 1 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 eggs (room temperature) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon cake batter extract 2 1/4 cup all purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 festive sprinkles Cream cheese frosting: 8oz cream cheese (softened) 1/4 unsalted butter (softened) 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 4 cups powdered sugar -Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. -In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg, vanilla, and cake batter extract until combined. -Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix just until a few dry streaks of flour remain. Mix in the sprinkles. -Scoop about 3 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Place 6–8 dough balls on the prepared baking sheet. -Bake for 11–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will continue to bake as they cool, so don’t overbake. -While the cookies bake, make the frosting. Beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar until the frosting is smooth and pipeable. -Transfer the frosting to a piping bag or a zip-top bag. -Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely. -Once cooled, pipe the frosting onto each cookie, starting in the center and spiraling outward. Finish with more sprinkles and enjoy! #4thofjuly #summerdessert #cookies #cookierecipe #4thofjulydessert - @lori_ilc
