Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Buttermilk Sugar Cookie Cutouts Delight.
Step 1
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, combine the white sugar, shortening, buttermilk, and egg. Mix on medium speed until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla extract, and salt.
Step 3
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the sugar mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition until a dough forms.
Step 4
Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Step 6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to your desired thickness using a floured rolling pin. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place them on ungreased cookie sheets.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly browned. Allow the cookies to cool completely on wax paper or a wire rack for 15 to 30 minutes.
Step 8
To make the frosting, mix confectioners' sugar and milk in a bowl until you achieve a smooth paste. Adjust the consistency by adding more sugar or milk as needed. Spread the frosting thinly over the cooled cookies and decorate with sprinkles.
