    How to Make Frosted Sugar Cookies with Raspberry Buttercream

    1. Cream Butter, Cream Cheese, Sugar, and Salt

    In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and a pinch of kosher salt until the mixture is pale and fluffy.

    2. Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Crack the eggs into the mixture and pour in the vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients into the mixture for about a minute until smooth and homogenous.

    3. Combine Flour and Baking Powder

    Gently stir in the sifted cake flour and baking powder until just combined, then chill the dough in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.

    4. Bake Cookies

    Preheat the oven. Shape the chilled dough into balls, flatten slightly, and space them out on a baking sheet. Bake for 13-15 minutes until golden.

    5. Make Raspberry Buttercream

    Grind the freeze-dried raspberries to a fine powder. Beat the powder together with additional softened butter, sifted confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until light and airy.

    6. Frost and Decorate Cookies

    Once the cookies have cooled, generously spread the raspberry buttercream on each cookie and add any additional garnishes as desired.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Chill the Dough Thoroughly

    Ensure that your cookie dough is chilled adequately before rolling it out to minimize spreading and achieve a tender crumb.

    Let Cookies Cool Completely

    Before frosting, make sure the cookies are cool to prevent the buttercream from melting.

    Watch for the Perfect Bake

    Remove cookies when edges are slightly golden as they continue to firm up while cooling.

    Uniform Thickness

    Roll your dough to a consistent thickness to ensure even baking and avoid over. or under-baked cookies.

    Incorporate Powdered Sugar Gradually

    To control sweetness and texture, add powdered sugar slowly to achieve a smooth consistency.
