Ingredients

For the Cookies

  • 1 ½ c. powdered sugar
  • 1 c. butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ½ tsp. vanilla
  • 2 ½ c. flour
  • 1 ½ tbsp. baking powder
  • Food coloring
  • Sugar for rolling optional

For the Icing

  • 1 Stick butter
  • 1 c. Powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp. Almond extract

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Step 2: Combine 1 cup softened butter and 1 ½ cups powdered sugar in a mixer and blend on medium for 2 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Add in the egg and vanilla and beat on medium for one minute more.
  4. Step 4: Combine flour and baking powder and then add it to the mixer with your wet ingredients. Beat on high for another two minutes.
  5. Step 5: Place the sugar cookie batter into three separate bowls and mix in food coloring in your colors of choice. We went with a light blue, pink and yellow for ours.
  6. Step 6: Roll the sugar cookie dough into small balls and place on a aluminum foil lined cookie sheet. It will be sticky, so you can roll each ball in some white sugar to make it more manageable if you wish.
  7. Step 7: Bake for 7-9 minute, keeping an eye on them so that the edges don't start to brown.
  8. Step 8: While the cookies are baking, combine all of the icing ingredients in a mixer and mix well for 3-4 minutes.
  9. Step 9: Remove the icing from the mixer and set off to the side in a bowl for later use.
  10. Step 10. Once the cookies are done baking and have cooled, place some icing on the bottom of one and press another cookie down on top of the icing to form a buttercream cookie sandwich.
