A soft, buttery sugar cookie with a creamy almond frosting that is both flavorful and festive. These cookies are soft, chewy, and perfect for celebrations or casual treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk (any kind)
  • Pink sanding sugar (optional, for rolling)
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure almond extract (for frosting)
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream (for frosting)
  • A few drops pink gel food coloring

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until pale and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla and almond extracts.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients alternating with milk, mixing on low speed just until combined.
  6. Scoop dough balls using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, roll in pink sanding sugar if desired, and place 2 inches apart on baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cookies look set but still soft in the center. Remove and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  8. For the frosting, beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, almond extract, and milk or cream until smooth and spreadable. Add pink gel food coloring and mix until uniform.
  9. Spread almond frosting on cooled cookies using a spatula or piping bag. Optionally, sprinkle with additional pink sanding sugar or edible glitter.

Notes

Do not overbake the cookies; they should look slightly underdone when removed as they firm up while cooling. Use room temperature ingredients for best texture. If frosting is too thick, add milk a teaspoon at a time. Dough can be chilled 20-30 minutes to prevent spreading. Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep soft longer.
