Springtime makes my heart flutter 🦋 Tried some new Easter Sugar Cookie designs this weekend with my favorite pastel colors. See icing + sugar cookie recipe below! The Butterfly was inspired by @southstreetcookies who is an incredible cookie baker (and also from Iowa 💗)
ICING / FROSTING RECIPE:
Beat:
3 TBSP Meringue Powder
1/3 cup to 1/2 cup Warm Water (Until frothy)
Add:
4 Cups Powdered Sugar (Slowly until glossy)
Add:
Vanilla to taste and more water if the icing is too stiff.
This dries pretty fast (within 5-10 minutes)
MY GRANDMA BETTY’S SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE:
1 Cup Soft Butter
11/2 Cups Sugar
2 Eggs
1 Cup Sour Cream
11/2 TSP Vanilla
41/2 Cups Flour
1 TSP Salt
1 TSP Baking Soda
1/2 TSP Nutmeg
Cream butter and sugar till fluffy, add eggs and beat well. Add sour cream and vanilla, blend well. Add dry ingredients. The dough will get quite soft. Chill for several hours or over night. Roll to 1/4 inch thickness, cut, (sprinkle with sugar if you don’t plan to frost), and bake at 375 for 8-12 minutes just until some edges get barely golden. Undercooked is better than overcooked!
