Delightful soft sugar cookies filled with a creamy vanilla filling, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) so that it’s hot and ready for the cookies.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and baking powder until well combined.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and white sugar together. Beat them until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Add wet ingredients: Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Combine ingredients: Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Make sure there are no lumps.
- Shape the cookies: Roll tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on ungreased cookie sheets. Make sure to leave some space between each ball as they will spread.
- Flatten and bake: Gently flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
- Make the filling: In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and food coloring (if using) until it’s smooth and creamy.
- Sandwich the cookies: Once the cookies are cool, spread a layer of the filling on the bottom of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie.
- Enjoy: Your colorful sandwich cookies are ready! Serve them to your family and friends.
