Units Scale

  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 10 tbsp unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Pink Icing

  • 1 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 4 tbsp heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1 drop red food coloring

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cream of tartar in a medium bowl and whisk. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl with a hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment cream butter, sugar, powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add remaining wet ingredients, oil, egg, vanilla, and almond extract to wet ingredients and mix on low speed until combined.
  5. Combine flour mixture with wet ingredients one cup at a time, mixing on medium speed until combined. Do not over mix.
  6. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  7. Scoop cookie dough onto a large baking sheet (lined or greased) with a cookie scoop. Flatten out the cookie dough balls with the palm of your hand.
  8. For smaller cookies bake 6-8 minutes. For larger cookies bake 9-11 minutes. I baked mine for 7 minutes and made smaller cookies and felt they were just right. Cooking times will vary.
  9. While the cookies bake, prepare your frosting.
  10. Cream butter in a medium sized mixing bowl using a beater or whisk attachment. Cream until smooth.
  11. Add in powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla and almond extract. Mix until smooth and fluffy.
  12. Add only 1 drop of red food coloring and mix until color is fully distributed.
  13. Cool cookies on baking sheet for 15 minutes before moving. Cool cookies at least 30 minutes before frosting.
  14. Use a spatula or piping bag to apply frosting to cookies.
  15. Pour your self a glass of milk and enjoy!
  16. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Only mix the ingredients until they are combined. Do not over mix.
  • Cooking times will vary. You may need to put your cookies back in for a second time, cook them longer, or cook them less.
  • Crispier cookies will need longer bake times, but I recommend baking these as soft cookies.
  • Consuming raw cookie dough is not advised and can lead to food born illness.
  • I do not recommend freezing baked cookies. For a make a head option, make cookie dough in advance and freeze dough balls for up to 3 months. Icing should be made fresh.
