Ep 3: Buttercream Cookies
These itsy bitsy cookies are as delicious as they are cute! Here’s the yummy recipe if you’d like to follow along:
- 6 T butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 T white sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup + 3 T flour
- pinch of salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 mini chocolate chips
Soften the butter to the point that you can mix in the other ingredients easily by hand. Combine butter and both sugars, stir until fully mixed. Add egg yolk and vanilla and stir.
In another bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Stir thoroughly, then pour into wet ingredients and stir until you have delicious cookie dough!
Fold in chocolate chips (or anything else you might want in your cookies.) Use 1/4 teaspoon measuring spoon to scoop out cookies (they are very tiny!!)
In an Easy Bake Oven, bake cookies for 6 minutes. In a conventional oven, bake on 350 degrees and watch for the edges of the cookies to turn golden.
Once the cookies have cooled, flip over a cookie and use your favorite buttercream in a piping bag (or a ziploc with the corner cut off) to cover the cookie with frosting! Pile another cookie on top for a tiny cookie sandwich, and roll it in sprinkles for added cuteness. Enjoy!
