Instructions
For the Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375F degrees
- In a large bowl, combine the sugar cookie mix, flour, butter, and egg on medium speed until soft dough forms.
- Scoop dough into 2.5 teaspoon balls and roll balls of dough into sprinkles (optional).
- Place on an ungreased baking sheet and press a 1/4 teaspoon into the center of each dough ball creating a small indent. Indent will spread and become larger and shallower as cookies bake.
- Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are light golden brown.
- Cool cookies on cookie sheet for 1 minute; transfer to wire rack and let cool completely.
For the Frosting
- With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Add 4 and 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar, the heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium-high speed and beat for 2 full minutes.
- Add desired amount of your favorite tincture to the frosting and mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Using a spoon, scoop, or piping bag, place a dollop of buttercream into the indent of the cooled sugar cookies.
- Eat & enjoy!
Dosing Guide
This recipe makes about 3 dozen cookies. The infused buttercream frosting should be evenly distributed among the cookies. To calculate dosing, use this formula:
#mg THC per 1ml Tincture dropper x # of droppers added / # of cookies = #mg THC per cookie
Tips & Tricks
- Cookies may appear to be soft and undone, but they will set as they cool.
- If your thumbprint indentation disappeared, repress 1/4 teaspoon into the center immediately after removing from oven.
- If frosting is too thin, add up to 1/2 cup extra confectioner’s sugar.
- If frosting is too thick, try adding in a splash of heavy cream.
