Easy Homemade Lofthouse Cookies

If you love soft, delicious sugar cookies with a dash or sprinkles then these Lofthouse Cookies are for you! My copycat recipe will give you super soft, cakey, and sweet sugar cookies with that addictively delicious classic pink frosting. These cookies are super easy to make and taste way better than that grocery store favorite!
RECIPE: preppykitchen....
If you’ve never tried Lofthouse Cookies before they’re not like classic sugar cookies but more of a cross between a cookie and a cake. They have the softest, melt-in-your-mouth texture and deliciously sweet frosting.

I love Lofthouse Cookies- the icing is so cloyingly sweet which juxtaposes nicely with the nearly flavorless cookie. They’re impeccable

i feel like that's where all the flavor from those cookies come from, too. usually i taste nothing but frosting and the bits of cookie are just there for texture. still so damn good tho

I made these for the first time today and I loved them. They are SUPER easy to make!! For the buttercream I only put 200g of powdered sugar and next time I might even put a little less. The full 240 grams (2 cups I think) would have been WAY too sweet for me. Besides that they’re perfect. 10/10 recommend making these, and it’s way healthier than buying them from the store bc they don’t have all that extra stuff added in for preservation and whatnot :))

Maybe you could try other buttercream frosting types for example the german buttercream ( you add cooled curstard into creamed butter and sugar ,this buttercream isnt too sweet and it is very stable)

[@miriamrobarts]

That sounds good. I agree that American Buttercream can be overly sweet. I've made Swiss Meringue Buttercream Frosting & I love it. It tastes great & pipes well, (but it does melt in the heat) & it doesn't firm up, so it's nice for cakes / cupcakes, but not so much for cookies. It would be fun to try a German Buttercream recipe sometime.

@@miriamrobarts I hate American buttercream. It's grossly sugar coma sweet. I tend to stick with whipped cream b/c I can control the sugar content w/o impact to the texture of the cream. Is the Swiss and German version regular sweetness and don't give you a sugar headache?

[@miriamrobarts]

@@tweewin I love whipped cream, too. I agree that it's nice that you can make it with more or less sugar without really changing the texture, and you can adjust the sweetness according to whatever you're serving it with. I haven't tried the German buttercream, but xxx 89 said in the comment above that it "isn't too sweet", so I'd like to try it sometime. Yes, Swiss Meringue Buttercream is much less sugary & completely different from American Buttercream. (Well, as far as frostings go.) I love that it isn't overly sweet & it has a super-smooth texture. It's very light & soft. (It does firm up if you refrigerate it, though.) It takes more time and effort to make than American Buttercream (& you'll need a mixer that can run for a long time), but it's definitely worth it. You can easily find recipes & tips on making Swiss Meringue Buttercream online, so you should try it! Italian Meringue Buttercream is very similar, but if I remember correctly, the method is different in the beginning of the recipe. (Just looked it up: Swiss meringue is made by heating the egg whites with the sugar before whisking, and Italian meringue is made by drizzling a hot sugar syrup into the egg whites while whisking.) I prefer the Swiss method because it's easier, and the eggs are definitely pasteurized. Swiss Meringue Buttercream pipes beautifully, and since it's less sweet, you can pipe a towering swirl onto your cupcakes & they will be deliciously eatable (no scraping off necessary!). I made it for coworkers one time & they all liked it. One coworker who also likes to cook was very impressed & interested to learn about the recipe. When looking up the Swiss vs. Italian difference, I found this article comparing several types of buttercream frostings: www.seriouseats.com/buttercreams-frosting. (I haven't tried any of these specific recipes, but when I've done searches in the past, all the Swiss Meringue frosting recipes were pretty much the same.) Good luck if you give it a try!

@@miriamrobarts thanks for the detailed response! I will look into the Swiss version. I have used the Italian method of heating the sugar syrup for French macarons before, so I am familiar with that method. It wasn't super difficult honestly. I'm always in search of more creamed topping and want to find ones that I can control sweetness level. When I was young living in Vietnam, my relative was a baker and she would always give me a whole bowl of leftover cream to eat. It was soooo good and soft, but didn't taste like whipped cream nor American buttercream. I have been in search of that same type of cream for over 25 years now. Maybe it's the Swiss one!

[@miriamrobarts]

@@tweewin I hope so! It would be special to finally find it & be able to share it with your family along with the memory.
