Folks, if ever there were a recipe that needed to be made a small batch (this recipe makes just six), it’s Frosted Sugar Cookies, because these things are ADDICTING. This Small-batch Frosted Sugar Cookie recipe is exactly what you want from a frosted sugar cookie: soft, with just a little chew, a hint of vanilla, and a borderline excessive amount of frosting. Plus sprinkles. Never forget the sprinkles.

Ingredients

Optional Toppings

  • Sprinkles

Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

  • Food coloring optional

  • Pinch of salt

  • 1/4 tsp. Vanilla extract

  • 2 tsp. Milk or cream divided

  • 3/4 cup Powdered sugar sifted

  • 3 tbsp. Unsalted butter softened

Sugar Cookies

  • 1/3 cup Powdered sugar

  • 1/2 tsp. Vanilla extract

  • 1 Large egg white

  • 1/4 cup Granulated sugar

  • 1/3 cup Unsalted butter softened

  • 1/4 tsp. Salt

  • 1/2 tsp. Baking powder

  • 3/4 cup All-purpose flour

Method

  • 01
    Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • 02
    In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • 03
    In a medium bowl, combine butter and sugar and cream together until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add egg white and vanilla extract and beat until well-combined.
  • 04
    Add flour mixture and beat until mixed. Dough will be fairly soft and sticky.
  • 05
    Place powdered sugar in a small bowl and drop a 1 1/2-ounce spoonful of dough into the powdered sugar. Toss to coat and roll into a ball. Place dough on your prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough. This should make 6 cookies.
  • 06
    Use a flat-bottomed glass or the palm of your hand to smash each cookie dough ball until it is 1/2-inch thick. Bake for 9 to 12 minutes, until cookies look set and the bottoms are lightly golden. Do not overbake.
  • 07
    Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet until cool enough to handle before transferring them to a cooling rack. Cool completely before frosting.
  • 08
    In a medium bowl, beat softened butter until fluffy. Add powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of the milk/cream, vanilla, and salt and beat until smooth.
  • 09
    Add milk by the 1/4 teaspoon until frosting reaches your desired consistency. Add a couple drops of food coloring to color if desired.
  • 10
    Use a knife or offset spatula to swirl frosting onto the cooled cookies. Top immediately with sprinkles and enjoy.
