Learn how to recreate the irresistible Lofthouse Cookies right in your own kitchen with this copycat recipe! Indulge in soft, cakey, and sweet sugar cookies topped with the classic pink frosting.
Begin by placing softened butter and sugar into a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to blend until the mixture becomes fluffy.
Next, incorporate vegetable oil, heavy cream, and vanilla into the mixture. Blend until the mixture turns creamy.
Sift in cake flour, cream of tartar, baking powder, and salt into the bowl. Gently fold all the ingredients together until a thick dough forms.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 1 hour.
Use a 2-inch scooper to portion out the chilled cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each dough ball.
Bake for approximately 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are barely browned and the cookies are set.
Once the cookies have cooled completely, frost them by piping a thick swirl from the center to the edges of each cookie. Use a butter knife to smooth out any rough edges.
Repeat the frosting process for all the cookies and top them with colorful sprinkles of your choice.
