Soft Valentine’s Day Frosted Sugar Cookies – A Sweet, Buttery Treat for Every Heart

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (227g)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (330g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 2 cups powdered sugar (240g)

  • Sprinkles or sanding sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Beat butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  2. Mix in egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) until fully combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
