Ingredients

Sugar Cookie Dough

  • cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temp
  • ¼ cup vegetable shortening
  • ½ cup sour cream, room temp
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temp
  • 2 teaspoons almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners powdered sugar (for pressing the cookies)

Almond Buttercream Frosting

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temp
  • ½ cup vegetable shortening
  • 3 cups powdered confectioners sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • gel food coloring

Instructions

Cookie Dough

  • Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
  • In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl add the butter, shortening, and sour cream (all at room temperature) and cream together until nice and smooth. This will take about 4-5 minutes. Add the sugar, egg, and extracts and mix until combined.
  • Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 3 batches, mixing in completely after each addition.
  • Form a loose ball with the dough and place it in a covered bowl in the fridge for an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line your baking sheets with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  • Once the dough has chilled, scoop out ¼ cup of the dough and form a ball with your hands. Place the ball on the baking sheet and repeat until the sheet is full (you will probably only be able to fit 6 balls).
  • Dip a heavy bottom glass or measuring cup in the powdered sugar to coat the bottom. This will keep the glass from sticking to the dough. Flatten each ball until it's about ½ in thick, gently rotating the glass in a circle.
  • Bake the cookies one pan at a time for 10 minutes. The cookies will spread and puff up a little but won't turn brown, so be careful not to overbake them.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before placing them on a cooling rack to cool completely.

Almond Buttercream Frosting

  • Place the room temp butter and shortening into a mixing bowl or stand mixer and beat for a few minutes until nice and creamy. Add the powdered sugar ½ cup at a time and mix completely after each addition. Add the milk, extracts, and food coloring and mix until combined and creamy.
  • Once the cookies have cooled, add a generous amount of frosting to each cookie and spread out using an offset spatula or a butter knife. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing the dough or frosting. This will ensure you get a light and fluffy cookie and smooth frosting.
  • I would not recommend more than 6 cookies/baking sheet. They expand slightly and if you measure out ¼ cup of dough, they will be 5" in diameter once baked.
  • I used a heavy-bottomed glass to smash my dough balls to get the shape of the cookies. If you don't have one, any flat-bottomed cup will work.
  • Don't forget the powdered sugar before smashing the dough so the glass doesn't stick to the dough.
  • These sugar cookies should not turn brown, so be careful not to overbake them or they will become dry.
  • Store any leftover cookies in a sealed container for up to 3-4 days.
