- Learn how to make frosted sugar cookies just like Lofthouse! Those soft, overly sweet, addictive sugar cookies with the bright frosting and sprinkles you find in the big-box supermarkets. These are as close as anyone has gotten to the real deal and using ingredients everyone already has in their pantry or fridge.
Original recipe and instructions can be found here: www.justapinch.com/recipes/des...
What you'll need:
for the cookies...
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
for the frosting*:
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp milk
2 cups powdered (icing) sugar
food coloring and rainbow sprinkles (optional)
For the cookies: In a large bowl with an electric hand mixer or in a stand mixer, cream together the butter or margarine and sugar. Mix in sour cream. Add in eggs and vanilla and mix together until fully incorporated. Add in the flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Stir just enough to combine. Do NOT over mix! Roll into golf ball sized balls and place onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Pat down to about 1/2" thick. Bake in a preheated 350*F oven for 8 minutes or just until lightly browned on the bottom. The cookies should not have any color on the top or sides. Immediately remove to a wire rack to cool when done.
For the frosting: In a medium bowl, combine the butter or margarine with the vegetable shortening. Add in vanilla, milk and powdered sugar and stir until you have a smooth frosting. Use food coloring to tint the frosting to the color you wish and prefer. Frost cookies when completely cool and sprinkle with sprinkles on top. Let dry and then store in an airtight container for up to five days. Makes (24) 3" cookies. Enjoy!
*The full recipe for the frosting in the link above for this recipe is WAY too much frosting for the amount of cookies this makes. I halved the recipe for your convenience and it is plenty of frosting for all. - Jak na to + styl

I made these yesterday and they're pretty close to the real thing! I only used butter and they came out great. I used a different buttercream recipe though
I made these last night, they came out pretty good. Everybody at my work like them, so yummy 😋. I'm adding your recipe in my baking files :D. Big thanks
Are they soft like the actual lofthouse sugar cookies?
Yes, my favorite recipe. Thank you so much :)
Jessica Tyjo! |-/
Did you use salted butter or unsalted butter?
It’s nasty because I hate sour cream 🤢
i see these all the time at Wal-Mart 😍😍😍😍
They're soooooo good. 😄
saaame I'm so addicted
Sorry if I'm late but, saaaaaaaaaaaaame
Normal sugar cookies don't compare, they should just call these something completely different, maybe God's cookies?
im eating some rn they are the damn best cookies ever
I liked the blue 🙃
me too lol
Me too 💙
That's why u a loser
loser the pink one
I can't BELIEVE you didn't crack one of those bad boys open for us :)
IKR!
Yo Fuck ass bob nah but you can mine
@@allaboutbeebo4092 smh
These were so quick and easy!!! I made the same portion while watching the video step by step!!! I didn't have any food coloring but I added a little cream cheese to my icing and its delicious!!! I also substituted evaporated milk and another tbsp of butter for sour cream bc I didnt have any and they came out the same. Super soft and fluffy and surprisingly much better than the store bought ones.
all i want to know is if the actual cookie is soft like theirs
yes it is
I try them and they are not even close
Yes it is! I made them and they taste EXACTLY like the loft house cookies. Texture and everythinf
Yes these are just like the actual ones. I think SanJunipero probably left it in the oven just a little too long, so be careful with that.
alyssa gutierrez nope not at ALL mine turned out like puffed up bosnian deserts
Oh my gosh, just got done making these cookies, and they are amazing!!! So soft and easy to make. The icing is delicious too!
How much baking soda and baking powder did you use?
@@carolinaa629 I used the recommended and it rised weirdly, like it looked and tasted more like a biscuit.
Thanks so much Sheila! Glad to hear your family loves my recipes. That's awesome to hear! Thanks again!
I used just butter, had to add extra milk, and at end, a bit of water to get it in a softer/thinner consistency. The cookies and frosting turned out great! Thanks!
Mary Brennan Do you mean you skipped out on the shortening? I don't have any shortening but I'd love to make these
This was a absolute hit in my home! Fast and easy. Thank you!
I have been looking for the frosting recipe for so long. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thanks so much! They actually taste a lot alike too!
I've got videos planned for the next several weeks but when I have a spot open, I'll do the noodle vid for ya.
You're very welcome! They're a guilty pleasure of mine too for sure!
These are my favorite cookies of all time! I get them everytime at the store!!! Super Tasty
This recipe is the VERY BEST sugar cookie recipe!!! Thank you for sharing it
Just made these, they turned out great! Thanks for the recipe 😊
I made these cookies tonight and couldn't believe how much they tasted like the store bought ones, they were real soft and delicious....Thanks
This was really helpful 😭 I made them just now and they're so soft with a slight sweetness. I didn't do the icing but I'm sure it'll be the key to the legit lofthouse cookie
Lofthouse cookies are my son's FAVORITE cookies, but I couldn't find a good recipe until now! This recipe is so perfect, it's made it to the cabinet door hall of fame in my kitchen!
You're welcome! You'll enjoy for sure!
Out of all the videos I’ve watched on Lofthouse cookies , yours look just them . Good job! Think I’ll try it
i made these are they were so bomb thankyou so much 🦋
these are the most amazing cookies.i make them for holidays, birthdays, partys and anytime i want a cookie..ive been playing with the frosting today i put a little lemon zest in some orange zest in some and a little baking cocoa in the rest...delicious..
These are the best cookies ever
I can't believe He made this seven years ago and i just found it
Thanks so much Ange!
These type of cookies are absolutely amazing!!
Great recipe!!!
I absolutely love lofthouse sugar cookies. So good! Now for this recipe, the cookie dough was good, but the icing recipe was horrible. I follow the recipe to a T. I cook and bake all the time, so I'm not a newbie at baking. But I would recommend using another icing recipe.I think it might have been the shortening that ruined it. When I tasted a cookie with the icing, all I could taste was the shortening. Yuck..When I scraped off the icing, trying to save the cookies, the cookie tasted good. I think I'll try using just full on butter instead of adding the shortening to it.
i was thinking that too! i hate shortening, i don’t think it tastes good. i was thinking a buttercream would work better
NEVER USE SHORTNING OR MARGARINE FOR MAKING FROSTING! FIRST YOU HAVE TO USE 2 TO 3 TIMES THE SUGAR TO COVER UP THE SHORTNING TASTE!!
I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WEREN'T GOING TO USE THE BLUE
Lol!
Does it really matter?
Chunk Yogurt he ran out of icing
I used your mom
I love the blue
Excellent video! My mom buys these cookies all the time and now I can make them. I loved the blue too! Thanks for the video!
I Love These Cookies They Are The Best Rainbow Sprinkles Are My Favorite.😍😍😍
Your videos are amazing because they are to the point, no fluff, no boring repetitive intro, and they're very clear, informative, and relaxed. Really, other cooking CZcamsrs should follow your model. I tip my turban to you, kind sir! ~sending greetings from Morocco. :)
Wow thank you!! A friend bought me these cookies back from Canada they where delicious!! I live in the uk and we do not get these cookies here so I can’t wait to try bake these 😍
Wow! You nailed this recipe! Lofthouse are sooo good and yours look exactly like them! Thanks for sharing!
So have I and I found it! You won't regret trying them!
I always see these cookies in the store the BEST cookies ever!!!!!
Well hello there
CHANYEOLS ASS PLSSS-
I like your recipe. I used it last year, and I will be using it again this year. You explain it very clearly. I looks delicious, and it taste delicious.
It looks delicious💕
I made it recently too,🍪
but seeing the video makes me want to eat it again 👍😋🤤
I just made these and they turned out perfectly!! Taste the same as the real kind!!
Thanks! They look the same, taste pretty much the same and you know exactly what's in them. Not sure how well it turned out on cam but in person the blue turned out this grayish blue color that wasn't very appetizing, LOL!!
Just made these!! They're delicious!! ❤
Oh my God... First recipe I've made off CZcams and these are delicious!!! Mine came out find of small I thought they'd spread outore but they are soooo soft and just amazing!!
I just made these. They are close as can be to the real thing!! Thanks for sharing!! I made your Tiramisu recipe and that was The Best!!!!
thank u xx this is for my friend’s birthday :)
Perfect!! I am holding a bake sale this Sunday and usually buy the cookies then frost them pink (it is for breast cancer) but now I can make these! Thanks so much!
i just like the texture of the actual cookie it’s so soft
These cookies are great! I was honestly skeptical to try them. The were light and fluffy, one person said that they were like the top if a muffin! I made them the other night and they are still soft!
This recipe is a keeper.
Thanks so much!
I made these cookies and they turned out really good.
You help a lot, me and my mom made them and its so yummy 😋👌
Love it!
Thank you! 😋
Omg my son makes me buy these cookies all the time I will try to make these hope they look as awesome as yours! Thank you
I made these cookies a bit different. I added a pinch of orange peel inside the dough then at the end I covered them with melted chocolate because I didn't want to make frosting.They were DIVINE!!!
WOW! I just made this! It's so soft and awesome!! thank you so much.
I have made these before. They do come out just as soft as they do at Walmart, except they are NOT dry at all whatsoever which is wonderful. They are perfect when they are fresh out of the oven, and even better they are sweet but mild at the same time. Had a great time making them and over all I would say 9/10
Thank you so much for this recipe. I have been looking for one for a very long time. Keep up the good work!!!
These are my all time fave cookies! I can seriously eat a whole box of them and not feel bad one bit. I will be making these for sure! Thank you so much for this recipe
Nice home made surger cookies they taste AWSOME WOOO
You're very welcome! Glad you enjoy!
I am a 13 year old kid making this recipe. What I did was printed the recipe out and watched the video. Yes, the recipe calls for about 4 dozen but I made 1 1/2 dozen. While making this recipe it went really well. The things I messed up on was, I think I put to much flower, I did not flatten them up enough because I thought they would spread, and next they were in the oven to long. I will try making this recipe again fixing my mistake. Besides that they were pretty good and the frosting PERFECT
BEST....COOKIES....EVER!!!
These are my favorite too!!! amo estás galletitas gracias por la receta saludos Oli from Mexico,😃😃😃😃😗
I just made these and they are soooo good!!!
Oh these were amazing!! I used the cookie recipe to the T and the first batch I brought out were a bit under-cooked in the center. The second batch i left in for an extra minute and they came out beautifully. I have water flavorings that I use in my water (Mios, Crystal light liquid, etc) and i put a squirt of a strawberry and watermelon into the frosting. It had amazing flavoring that went so nicely with the vanilla extract. :) Thank you for this recipe as it's now a new favorite of mine!
sooo good
Trying these this weekend, thanks for sharing!
I made these this afternoon and they were fabulous. All the sugar cookie recipes in my cookbook called for 5 cups of flour. Your measurements were just right. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed!!
oh my god thank you thank you so much for uploading this video. these are my favorite cookies in the world and where i live they are really hard to find. now thanks to you i can make them myself. again thank you

These cookies look beautiful! They look exactly like the ones in the store, but I bet are much better! I do like the blue icing; very pretty!
Watching this eating these cookies in December 2020
These are my favorite kind of coookiesss!!!!
Good recipe
Thank you Kelly!
They came out really good and they were really easy to make I thought the dough would shrink down a little more so mine came out thick
Another great video, you make it look so easy.

+Courtneie Wzw yes your right . because I'm here to learn how to make something now take comments from 9 year olds
Hello! I just baked these!! The cookies taste exactly like the stores so crumbly and soft mmmmmm. One thing I have to say is that the frosting is a bit too sweet, luckily my family has a huge sweet tooth. Totally recommend!!
Well thanks for making me drool lol but the blue was a beautiful color!
I live in the uk and we don't have these. Well I thought I would give this ago. OMG these were amazing taste just as good as the store bought ones many thanks
