Chantilly Sugar Cookies

Took most of my day off/on, but we now have Lofthouse copycat cookies! Oh, yum!

NOTES: Alternate for steps 10-12: Unwrap dough and divide into equal parts, around the size of golf balls. Place onto baking sheet and flatten slightly before moving onto step 13.

Chantilly Sugar Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 eggs, at room temperature
• 3 cups all-purpose flour + more for rolling out
• 2 cups confectioner’s sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, at 67° F, divided (1/2 cup for batter + 1/2 cup for frosting)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup full-fat sour cream
• 2 Tbsp heavy whipping cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract, divided (1/2 tsp for batter + 1/2 tsp for frosting)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 5/16 tsp pink Himalayan salt (1/4 tsp for batter + 1/16 tsp for frosting)

Directions

1. In a medium bowl whisk together 3 cups flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt, then set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup granulated sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). I use my stand mixer equipped with it’s paddle attachment.
3. Add 2 room temp eggs, one at a time, continuing to mix at medium speed until each is incorporated.
4. Add 1/2 tsp vanilla and 3/4 cup sour cream, mixing at low speed until just combined.
5. Slowly add in flour mixture, a bit at a time, continuing to mix at low speed until just combined.
6. Transfer dough to plastic wrap and shape into a rectangle about 1 1/2″ thick, then wrap in the plastic wrap.
7. Chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hrs, until firm.
8. Once dough is almost done chilling, preheat oven to 425° F.
9. Line baking sheets with parchment paper, then set aside.
10. Unwrap dough and transfer to a lightly floured surface and sprinkle a bit of flour on top on the dough block.
11. Roll dough out to about 1/4″ thick. I use my 17″ French rolling pin to make this super easy!
12. Using a 3″ round biscuit cutter, cut out dough circles and transfer to baking sheets. I didn’t have the right cutter so a never-before-used adult sippy cup lid was just perfect!
13. Bake for 7 mins.
14. Immediately transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
15. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 tsp vanilla. Once again, I use my stand mixer with paddle attachment here.
16. Slowly beat in 2 cups confectioner’s sugar and small pinch (about 1/16 tsp) of salt, until smooth and creamy.
17. Add in 2 Tbsp cream – 1 Tbsp at a time – until you reach your desired consistency, then beat at medium-high speed for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.
18. Frost cookies.
