Ingredients
For the cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 1 ½ cup granulated sugar divided
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons water
- 2 large eggs
- 5 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
For the icing
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup sour cream
- 4 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 drop pink gel food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and a pinch of kosher salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, vegetable oil, 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar, powdered sugar, water, and eggs until combined. Slowly add in flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Mix until blended.
- Dough may be slightly crumbly, but not sticky. Using a 2 Tbsp cookie scoop, spoon a dough ball and roll it in your hands. Then roll dough ball in sugar and salt bowl. Place on cookie sheet.
- Using a glass with a flat bottom, dip glass in sugar bowl, then press on top of cookie. Flatten cookie so that the dough spills out over the sides of the glass to create a lip (for the icing). Repeat for all dough balls.
- Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes. Remove and cool completely on wire rack.
- For the icing, beat together the butter and sour cream for 3 minutes. Add in powdered sugar and food coloring, beating until well blended. Add up to 2 Tbsp milk, if needed to create an icing that is thick, but not runny or TOO thick.
- Spread icing over cooled cookies. ENJOY.
Notes
- Chilling the dough is NOT necessary for my sugar cookie recipe.
- I would add 1-2 tsp of your favorite flavoring to give new life to these cookies. My favorites would be lemon, almond, or orange extracts.
- These sugar cookies should be kept at room temperature in an airtight container for best flavor and texture. Once the icing has firmed, you can stack them with a sheet of wax paper (or parchment paper between layers.
