Cookies

  • Combine all ingredients and mix until a dough is formed
  • Scoop the dough into balls and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Place each dough ball onto a lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart
  • Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to smash the dough down, creating a place for the frosting to go once baked and cooled.

  • Let the cookies cool completely before icing.

Buttercream
