A friend of mine has had a rough time in her life lately. I know she LOVES soft frosted sugar cookies, so I baked her up a batch. The cookies are thick and soft, and not too sweet, with lots of sweet whipped vanilla buttercream. I made some sweet blossoms out of modeling chocolate and added them on top.
Whipped American Buttercream
frosts 24 cookies
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch salt
1 tablespoon heavy cream
food dye, as desired
Place butter in your mixer bowl with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium high for 3 minutes. Add powdered sugar and salt and beat on low until combined, them increase to medium high and beat 3 minutes more. Add cream, vanilla, and food dye if using, and beat on medium until combined. Store covered at room temperature up to 2 hours before using.
