Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp (15g) cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp almond extract (optional)
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar, sifted (for frosting)
  • 2–3 tbsp (30-45ml) heavy cream or milk (for frosting)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • Pinch of salt (for frosting)
  • Pink gel food coloring

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a stand mixer bowl, beat butter and cream cheese on medium speed for 2 minutes until light and creamy. Add sugar and continue beating until fluffy, about 2 more minutes.
  4. Beat in egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) until fully combined. Scrape down the bowl.
  5. With mixer on low, gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix just until combined. If dough is dry, add 1 tbsp milk; if too sticky, chill for 10 minutes.
  6. Use a medium cookie scoop (about 2 tbsp) to portion dough onto prepared sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Lightly roll each mound into a ball and gently flatten tops.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cookies are puffed and just set. Edges should look dry but centers will be soft and pale. Do not overbake.
  8. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the frosting: Beat butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar. Mix in cream or milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Beat until smooth and fluffy. Add pink gel food coloring until desired shade is reached.
  10. Once cookies are cool, spread a generous layer of pink frosting on top using an offset spatula or butter knife. Optionally, swirl frosting or sprinkle with colored sugar or edible glitter.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and avoid overmixing the dough. Chill dough if it’s too sticky. Frost cookies only when completely cool. Sift powdered sugar for smooth frosting. Cookies can be made gluten-free or dairy-free with appropriate substitutions. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze unfrosted cookies for up to 2 months.
