LOFTHOUSE SUGAR COOKIES
Lofthouse Sugar cookies are those soft cake like sugar cookies you find at Walmart store frosted with a sweet bright buttercream. My daughter always wants me to buy them and they are good. Over time I've worked with a few different recipes that pretty much taste the same and this is the one I ended up with. It's a soft cake...

Steps:
- 1. COOKIE DOUGH DIRECTIONS: In a large bowl combine sour cream, sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla; mix well. In a smaller bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, then add to wet mixture and mix until everything is just incorporated. With a cookie scoop, scoop out even size scoops of dough and then roll in a ball in your hand and place on a cookie sheet and slightly flatten with your hand so it's in a circular shape. Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven until light golden brown, no more than 10 minutes. They may seem under done but they aren't. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely before frosting.
- 2. BUTTERCREAM FROSTING DIRECTIONS: Directions: Cream together butter and shortening in mixer, with paddle attachment on medium for about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup powdered sugar and beat until smooth, Add another 1/2 cup and beat until smooth. Add Vanilla, mix. Add gradually the remaining sugar and milk, making sure you end with sugar. Continue to mix on medium until smooth.
LOFTHOUSE-STYLE SUGAR COOKIES
This is a conglomerate of several recipes and suggestions from reviews that I have read in searching for the much-loved Lofthouse cookie recipe. It worked nicely for us, and though it is not EXACTLY the same, they are pretty darn good cookies. Who complains about cookies - honestly? :) Anyway, I recommend using the Recipe #271501 recipe that is posted on this site by ellie3763, but any frosting you desire will all go to the same place....the hips!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, cream the shortening and the sugar.
- Take the mixer out and, with a wooden spoon, add the egg, whipping cream, and vanilla until thoroughly combined (it will look a bit "stiff"), but do not whip the cream too much.
- In another bowl, mix the remaining ingredients.
- Add half the dry mixture at a time to the wet mixture. Only mix until it is thoroughly mixed together. Dough will seem sticky.
- Roll dough into 1" to 1-1/4" balls and place on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
- Flatten to 1/3" thick with the flat bottom of a drinking glass. They do not spread much when baking.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
- Take the cookies out of the oven and move immediately to a wire rack to cool. Frost and decorate as desired.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 425. Cream together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs and sour cream. Mix in dry ingredients. Cover and refigerate overnight. Roll out dough to a 1/4 to 3/8 inch thickness using a generous amount of flour. Cut out shapes and bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 8 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Frost and decorate as desired.
- 2. Another thing you can do is roll them into balls, if you don't want to go through all the rolling out and cutting.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This helps the ingredients blend together more easily and creates a smoother cookie dough.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at the correct temperature. The ideal temperature for baking Lofthouse sugar cookies is 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
- Do not overbake the cookies. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to turn golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This helps the frosting set properly.
