Ingredients
Scale
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- For the Frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (or milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Red and green food coloring (optional)
- Holiday sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using). Mix until combined.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
- Roll dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and flatten slightly on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are just set. Do not overbake — they should stay soft.
- Let cookies cool completely before frosting.
- For the frosting: Beat butter until creamy, then add powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
- Tint frosting with red or green coloring if desired. Spread over cooled cookies and top with festive sprinkles.
Notes
🎄 For the ultimate Crumbl-style look, frost cookies thickly and chill before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months!
