SOFT FROSTED SUGAR COOKIES – BETTER THAN LOFTHOUSE!

Today I have a homemade version of those soft frosted sugar cookies from Lofthouse that you can get at grocery stores. This isn’t exactly a copycat recipe because these are actually better! Yup, you heard me, better! The soft frosted sugar cookies from the grocery store and delicious, but you know how they are a little…fake tasting? Well, these definitely don’t have that element. They are soft and full of buttery rich, vanilla flavor.

These are a great, versatile cookie as you can tailor the frosting and sprinkles for any holiday, party, occasion, etc. Since Valentine’s Day is coming up my little one and I decided to tint our frosting pink and add pretty seasonal sprinkles. She loved decorating {and eating} these with me.
