Delicious Crumbl Sugar Cookies topped with pink almond icing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 egg, at room temperature
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar (optional)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup butter, softened (for icing)
- 2 cups powdered sugar (for icing)
- 2 tbsp heavy cream, cold (for icing)
- 1/4 tsp almond extract (for icing)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for icing)
- Pink gel food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together the butter, oil, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Mix in the flour, salt, cream of tartar (if using), and baking powder until combined.
- Using a large cookie scoop (about 1/4 cup), scoop out 9 cookie balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball with your hand to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- Bake for 9–10 minutes, then let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
- Add the cold heavy cream and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Add a tiny amount of pink gel food coloring with a toothpick, mixing until you reach your desired shade.
- Spread the icing generously on the fully cooled cookies. Serve immediately or chill before serving.
Notes
- Store frosted cookies in the fridge for up to 7 days.
- Freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
- Use room-temperature ingredients for proper cookie texture.
- Don’t flatten cookies too much—1/3–1/2 inch thick is ideal.
- Ensure cookies are completely cool before frosting.
