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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and a pinch of kosher salt. Set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes. Remove and cool completely on wire rack.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
