Ingredients
For the cookies:
- 1/2 cup salted butter softened
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 6 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla good quality
- 1 egg
- 2 & 3/4 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tarter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- pinch salt
For the frosting:
- 4 tablespoons butter softened
- 1 oz package COLD cream cheese cut into chunks
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- strawberries to top with
Instructions
- Preheat you oven to 350 F.
- In a stand mixer or with an electric mixer, beat the butter until smooth and creamy.
- Add the vegetable oil, white sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla, and egg, and beat until fluffy, at least 2 minutes.
- Add the flour to the bowl, but don't mix it in. Make a well in the center of the flour and add the baking soda, cream of tarter, and salt. Stir it in with a small spoon, then beat the flour mixture in until just combined. The dough is on the drier side.
- Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form the dough into balls about 1 1/2 tablespoons each. (Or any size, as long as they are uniform.) Line them up on a cookie sheet (you don't need to grease it).
- In a shallow bowl, combine the 1/4 cup sugar with a pinch of salt. Get your fingers wet and rub them on the bottom of a glass. Dip the glass into the sugar, then smash each cookie. You want them to be flat, but not so flat that they bake crispy. See photos.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 6-7 minutes. Take them out when they are not quite brown on the edges, and still a little shiny on top (just a little bit).
- Let cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
- Meanwhile, make the frosting. Using your stand mixer or electric beaters, beat the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth, at least 1 minute.
- Add the coconut extract and salt.
- Add the 2 cups powdered sugar and beat until smooth.
- Frost each cookie. Top each cookie with a strawberry heart (see photos).
Notes
- I used 1/3 less fat cream cheese in the frosting, still tastes awesome!
