Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ⅓ cups (280 g) flour
- 1 egg, at room temperature
- ½ cup (115 g) butter, softened
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (60 ml) oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar (optional)
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsps powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp almond extract
- ½ cup (115 g) butter, softened
- 2 cups (240 g) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsps heavy cream, cold
- ¼ tsp almond extract
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pink gel food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Configure oven to 350°F and strategically position a parchment-lined baking sheet for optimal cookie preparation.
- Cream Base: In a large mixing bowl, vigorously blend butter, oil, and sugars until the mixture transforms into a light, airy consistency with a silky smooth texture.
- Incorporate Wet Elements: Fold in egg and extracts, ensuring thorough integration and a uniform mixture that promises rich flavor depth.
- Combine Dry Components: Gently integrate flour, salt, cream of tartar, and leavening agent, mixing with precision to create a cohesive dough without overmixing.
- Shape and Bake: Deploy a substantial cookie scoop to form nine symmetrical dough portions on the prepared sheet, delicately flattening each to half-inch thickness. Slide into the preheated oven and bake for 9-10 minutes, maintaining a slightly underdone appearance to guarantee future softness.
- Cool and Rest: Allow cookies to settle on the baking sheet for 20 minutes, then transition to a wire rack for complete temperature equilibration.
- Craft Frosting: Whip butter, powdered sugar, and flavor extracts into a smooth mixture, gradually introducing chilled heavy cream to achieve a cloud-like consistency.
- Finalize Decoration: Infuse a subtle pink hue using gel coloring, then generously coat the cooled cookies with the luxurious frosting. Serve immediately or chill for an enhanced sensory experience.
Notes
- Butter Blending Technique: Cream butter, oil, and sugars until light and fluffy for optimal cookie texture and volume.
- Mixing Mindfulness: Avoid overmixing dry ingredients to prevent tough, dense cookies that lack delicate crumb structure.
- Baking Precision: Remove cookies from oven when slightly underdone to guarantee a soft, chewy interior after cooling.
- Frosting Finesse: Chill cookies completely before applying frosting to prevent melting and ensure clean, smooth decoration.
