Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup (166g) salted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (173g) granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 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 (optional)
- 1–3 tbsp heavy whipping cream (to reach desired consistency)
- Pink food coloring (liquid or gel)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream 3/4 cup softened butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar with a hand mixer or stand mixer for 1 minute, until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs and 1 1/2 tsp vanilla. Mix until fully combined.
- Add 2 1/3 cups flour and 1 1/2 tsp baking powder. Mix just until a soft dough forms — don’t overmix.
- Portion the dough using 1 1/2 tbsp per cookie. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten slightly. Place on the prepared cookie sheet, leaving room to spread.
- Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 9–11 minutes. The cookies will puff and spread; remove them when centers no longer appear wet but before any browning.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on the pan before frosting.
- Make the frosting: Beat 1/4 cup softened butter until smooth. Add 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, almond extract, and heavy cream alternately until smooth and thick.
- Tint with pink food coloring and frost each cooled cookie.
- Chill the frosted cookies in the fridge for 30 minutes to set. Serve chilled.
