Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup (226 grams) Finlandia unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 cup (200 grams) sugar
• 2 eggs, room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 3/4 cups (330 grams) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup (62 grams) cornstarch
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 cup (114 grams) Finlandia unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup (114 grams) cream cheese, room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups (240 grams) powdered sugar

Directions

• In a mixing bowl add the butter and sugar. With the paddle attachment on, beat on low speed until light and creamy, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the vanilla extract and the two eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch and baking powder. Gently fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Beat until just combined.
• Remove the cookie dough from the mixing bowl and, with floured hands, shape it into two 2-inches thick log. I use wax paper to roll the dough in, is not as sticky as plastic wrap or parchment paper. Chill the dough overnight. (when im in a rush, I place the cookie dough in the freezer for 2-3 hours)
• Slice the cookie dough into 1/4 - 1/3 inch thickness and place on two baking sheets.
• Heat the oven to 350F. Bake the cookie for 10-13 minutes until the edges are barely golden brown and the center is set.
• Remove the baking sheets from the oven, let the cookies cool for 1-2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• In a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and butter. With the paddle attachment on, beat on low sped until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the vanilla extract and gently beat in the powdered sugar.
• Once all the sugar is added, increase the mixer’s speed to medium-high and beat for 2 more minutes.
• With a small spatula, spread a little frosting over each cookie.
• Finish with colorful sprinkles.
