We are working on making Christmas extra special this year over here. However, we do not want gifts to be the focus of making Christmas special. Each day of December, we are going to be baking or making a different activity to bring in holiday cheer & make new memories together. Maybe we’ll even make some new traditions too!

This Christmas Sugar Cookie Cake was so good and really simple to make! I can’t believe I was intimidated by cookie cakes! This is SO much better then mall-kiosk bought and definitely a new favorite (until I make a chocolate chip version, I bet.) Mia asked to help with piping the frosting since we recently learned how in our Grace Girls Group. I think she did a really great job! It almost looks professional!

This would be a great dessert to bring to a Christmas party to share! You definitely won’t be leaving with any Leftovers! Make sure to cut small enough slices so no one has to miss out! It’s THAT good!

Sugar Cookie Cake

• 1 Stick Salted Butter at Room Temperature
• 3/4 Cup Sugar
• 1 Egg + 1 Egg Yolk
• 2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 1/2 Cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1/4 Sea Salt
• 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 1/2 Teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1/2 Cup Christmas Sprinkles

1. Preheat oven to 350°F

Frosting

• 1 Stick Salted Butter
• 1 3/4 Cups Powdered Sugar
• 2 Tablespoons Heavy Whipping Cream
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1/4 Teaspoon Almond Extract
• Pinch of Salt

1. Cream together butter & sugar in your Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer. Once smooth, add remaining ingredients and beat for 3 minutes.
2. Stir frosting very hard to release any air bubbles then scoop into piping bag.
3. Pipe 2 lines of frosting to create a “crust.” (*Save remaining frosting for individual piece decorating or for a later time).
4. Decorate with Christmas colored Sparkling Sugar.

It’s so moist & chewy! Exactly how I like my cookies. I KNOW that you’ll enjoy it as much as we did!
