Description

Enjoy the classic taste of a bakery-style sugar cookie with this effortless no-roll recipe featuring a soft, buttery base and creamy frosting. These pressed cookies are famous for their unique texture and signature jagged edges, making them a beautiful and delicious treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup neutral oil
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper for even baking and easy removal.
  2. In a stand mixer or large bowl, cream together the softened butter, oil, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
  4. Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet mixture, mixing just until no dry streaks of flour remain to ensure a tender cookie.
  5. Scoop the dough into 3-tablespoon sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Dip the bottom of a flat glass into granulated sugar and press down on each dough ball to flatten it and create characteristic rough edges.
  7. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes until the edges are just set, then allow the cookies to cool on the pan for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Once fully cooled, whip the frosting ingredients together and spread a generous layer onto each cookie.

Notes

For an extra festive touch, you can add a few drops of food coloring to the frosting or top with seasonal sprinkles. To achieve the perfect texture, ensure your cookies are not overbaked; they should look slightly soft in the center when removed from the oven. These cookies can be stored in the refrigerator for a chilled treat that highlights the fudgy consistency of the frosting.
