  • 1–2 tbsp whole milk
  • 1 drop Pink gel frosting (neon pink americolor gel)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C, and line two cookie pans with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese for about 5-6 minutes, until fluffy and lighter in color.
  3. Mix in the eggs, vanilla and almond extract one at a time.
  4. Beat in the flour, baking soda and salt, until incorporated.
  5. Use a large cookie scooper or ice cream scoop, and roll the dough into balls. Carefully press it down to 3/4 inch thickness.

  7. To make the icing, place the butter into a large bowl and beat with your mixer for about three minutes until completely smooth and airy.
  8. Add confectioner’s sugar, vanilla, almond and 1 tablespoon of milk. Beat for two minutes on medium speed. You can add another tablespoon of milk if the icing isn’t smooth, or if it seems to be too thick.
  9. Continue to beat on high for four minutes.
  10. Use a knife or offset spatula to spread the frosting onto the top of the cookies.

Notes

Before adding the dry ingredients, the dough will look like cake batter. It will come together after adding the dry ingredients. The dough should NOT be loose or sticky. 

These cookies don’t really spread, but they will be a puffy and fluffy cookie  

The amount of milk being added to the cream cheese icing will be determined by the weather.  For climates with more moisture in the air (or if its raining while making this) you will only need 1tbsp of milk.  For drier climates you will probably need both.

Final Word

If you loved this post, you’ll love the Total Beginner’s Guide to Baking.

In the Total Beginner’s Guide to Baking, I break down all the things that you should know to be a better baker.

After reading through this guide you will know how to accurately measure any ingredient, and how to measure honey without having it stick to the cup! (Soooo annoying.)

There’s also an article with tips on how to read through recipes. It sets you on the right foot before you even start baking anything.

I have a habit of baking AS I read through the recipe. So, I often miss a step, or screw up something that is explained in more detail lower on the page…. (will I ever learn?!!… Looking at my track record, no, probably not!)

But, you, my friend, won’t have to throw out so many ingredients because you have this article to help you through the recipe AND a worksheet to write down the important details before starting.

Anyways, this guide is 22 pages of helpful resources for the beginner AND intermediate baker. I am sure you will find it insanely useful on your baking journey.

Have fun baking!
