@xenabakes: Halloween Soft Sugar Cookies BETTER than Lofthouse! Day 11 of 31 Days of Spooky Treats 👻 I’ll be sharing Halloween recipes daily 🎃 Follow me for more recipes 🕷️✨ Soft, fluffy Halloween sugar cookies with vanilla buttercream frosting and spooky sprinkles 👻🎃 Soft Sugar Cookies Ingredients: • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened • ¾ cup granulated sugar • 1 large egg • 1 tsp vanilla extract • ½ cup sour cream • 2 cups + 2 tbsp all purpose flour • 1½ tbsp cornstarch • 1 tsp baking powder • ½ tsp baking soda • ¼ tsp salt 🧁 Vanilla Buttercream • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened • 2 cups powdered sugar • 1½ tsp vanilla extract • 2–3 tbsp heavy cream or milk • ¼ tsp salt 👻 Directions 1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar for 2–3 minutes, until light and fluffy. 2. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until combined. 3. Add the sour cream and mix until smooth. 4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. 5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix just until a soft dough forms. Don’t overmix. 6. Chill the dough for 30–45 minutes. For a quicker option, scoop and shape the cookies first, then freeze them for about 10–15 minutes. 7. Preheat oven to 350°F. 8. Scoop about 2 tbsp of dough per cookie and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently roll into balls and flatten slightly to about ½ inch thick. 9. Bake for 9–11 minutes. The cookies should stay pale and soft, don’t wait for the edges to brown. 10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely. 🧁 Buttercream 1. Beat the softened butter for 3–4 minutes until light and fluffy. 2. Gradually add the powdered sugar. 3. Add vanilla and salt. 4. Add 2 tbsp heavy cream or milk and beat for another 2–3 minutes. 5. Add a little more cream if needed until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. 6. Add food coloring if you want. Frost the completely cooled cookies and decorate with Halloween sprinkles. 🎃👻🖤 Makes about 18–20 cookies. #halloweenrecipes #EasyRecipes #sugarcookies #halloweencookies #spookyseason
