Homemade Lofthouse Sugar Cookies

I have gotten a few questions from friends and readers about the absence of cookies on our blog. I haven’t posted a cookie recipe since December-gasp! I think that is a record. No, I am not mad at cookies, I was just giving everyone a little time to detox from cookie overload in December. I am back today with my all time favorite sugar cookie recipe. These soft sugar cookies are a copycat of the popular Lofthouse Sugar Cookies that you can buy at the store. Homemade cookies are always best, so skip a trip to the store and make a batch of sugar cookies at home.

Valentine’s Day Sugar Cookies

These sugar cookies are easy to make. You do have to chill the dough, so make sure you plan ahead. There is sour cream in the recipe which keeps the cookies moist and soft. You can cut the cookies in whatever shapes you like, I chose hearts because Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Feel free to use your favorite cookie cutter shapes. The buttercream frosting is fluffy and compliments the cookies nicely. I made pink frosting and added Valentine sprinkles to dazzle up my heart shaped cookies. These super soft sugar cookies are perfect for any occasion. I usually make them for Christmas and Valentine’s Day. Get the kids involved and let them help roll out and decorate the sugar cookies. The unfrosted sugar cookies freeze well so you can make them in advance. The frosted cookies will keep in an airtight container for 3-4 days on the counter.

If you like the Lofthouse Sugar Cookies, you will love these soft sugar cookies. And remember Valentine’s Day is coming up, I am sure your sweetheart would love a big, soft, fluffy sugar cookie on the day of love. Cookies always make the heart grow fonder:)
