If you like soft sugar cookies with cream cheese frosting, then this recipe is for you!
Combine butter and sugar using a mixer. Add in all wet ingredients and continue mixing .In a separate bowl, combine baking powder and flour. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet batter until you have reached desired dough consistency. I use a kitchen aid for this process.
Refrigerate dough for 1 hour.
Roll out dough to about 1/4 thickness. cut out desired shapes (in this case hearts) and Bake for *6-7 minutes at 375. *I like my cookies extra soft and chewy so I bake mine for 5 minutes.
whip butter and cream cheese together till combined. Add vanilla,almond extract, and powdered sugar cup by cup. Continue mixing while adding 1 cup of powdered sugar at a time till you reach desired consistancy (between 4-5 cups).
*Note:The doughis a double batch, I usually freeze half the dough to use at a later time.
* I know a lot of bakers prefer unsalted butter, but I like using salted butter for both frosting & cookies. Mix together in mixer.
*Note: Both the dough and frosting recipes are doubled. I usually freeze half the dough and frosting to use at a later time. For example, I made this batch of frosting and cookie dough at Christmas.
