how to make Crumbl Sugar Cookies (Catering Size)

Follow the directions below for cookie dough, baking, and frosting. Work in simple steps and chill the cookies after frosting so they hold their shape.

Ingredients :

• 3/4 cup (166g) salted butter (softened)
• 3/4 cup (173g) granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 1/3 cups (354g) all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 cup (56g) salted butter (softened) [for frosting]
• 1 1/2 cups (161g) powdered sugar
• 1/8 – 1/4 tsp almond extract
• 1 – 3 tbsp heavy whipping cream
• pink food coloring

Directions :

1. Preheat your oven to 350° F (180° C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner. Set aside.
2. Cream together the butter and sugar with either an electric hand mixer or stand mixer for 1 minute until light and fluffy.
3. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
4. Add in the flour and baking powder, mix until a soft dough forms.
5. Portion out your dough using 1 1/2 tbsp of dough for each cookie. Roll into a ball and then flatten just slightly. Place on the prepared cookie sheet and repeat with remaining dough. The cookies will expand and spread while baking.
6. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 9-11 minutes. The cookies will spread and puff up and the centers will no longer look wet when ready. Pull them out before they turn brown.
7. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the pan.
8. Once the cookies are completely cool, make the frosting. Use your electric hand mixer to cream the butter until smooth.
9. Add in the powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time, alternating with the extracts and the heavy cream until all of the powdered sugar has been incorporated. The frosting should be smooth and thick.
10. Use pink food coloring to dye the frosting. I use a toothpick to add a little color for a light pink.
11. Frost each of the cookies and then chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving.
12. Serve chilled.

how to serve Crumbl Sugar Cookies (Catering Size)

Place cookies on a large platter in neat rows. Keep them chilled until you serve so the frosting stays firm. They pair well with milk, coffee, or tea.

how to store Crumbl Sugar Cookies (Catering Size)

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the unfrosted cookies in a single layer, then stack with parchment between layers in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw and then frost when ready to eat.
