Best Ever Butter Sugar Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

Two secret ingredients make these all butter sugar cookies a family favorite and the first cookie to go at a party! No matter the season or the occasion, this is my go-to recipe for sugar cookies!

Total time: 43 minutes
Yields: 30 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (226 grams) Finlandia unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup (200 grams) sugar
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups (330 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (62 grams) cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Cream cheese frosting

  • 1/2 cup (114 grams) Finlandia unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (114 grams) cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (240 grams) powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl add the butter and sugar. With the paddle attachment on, beat on low speed until light and creamy, about 3 minutes.
  2. Stir in the vanilla extract and the two eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch and baking powder. Gently fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Beat until just combined.
  4. Remove the cookie dough from the mixing bowl and, with floured hands, shape it into two 2-inches thick log. I use wax paper to roll the dough in, is not as sticky as plastic wrap or parchment paper. Chill the dough overnight. (when i’m in a rush, I place the cookie dough in the freezer for 2-3 hours)
  5. Slice the cookie dough into 1/4 – 1/3 inch thickness and place on two baking sheets.
  6. Heat the oven to 350F. Bake the cookie for 10-13 minutes until the edges are barely golden brown and the center is set.
  7. Remove the baking sheets from the oven, let the cookies cool for 1-2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  1. In a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and butter. With the paddle attachment on, beat on low sped until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the vanilla extract and gently beat in the powdered sugar.
  3. Once all the sugar is added, increase the mixer’s speed to medium-high and beat for 2 more minutes.
  4. With a small spatula, spread a little frosting over each cookie.
  5. Finish with colorful sprinkles.
