I almost managed to give them enough separation this time! |
- Preheat the oven to 325 F.
- Cream the butter, white and brown sugar together in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment.
- Mix in the milk, sour cream and vanilla.
- Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon (I recommend starting with 1 tsp then tasting the batter and deciding if you want more. I went with the full amount) and blend well.
- Place half tablespoon to full tablespoon sized amounts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-14 minutes or until the cookies start to slightly harden.
- Remove from the oven and let rest on the baking sheet for two minutes to crisp up the bottom of the cookies.
- Let cool on a wire rack.
- Make the three colored frostings by partitioning the remaining ingredients and mixing well with a fork. The final products should not be runny.
- Spread on the frosting in 3 bands on each cookie and let them harden for 15 minutes before eating (or put it in the fridge for a couple of hours to really get the frosting right).
Sometimes you run out of frosting and one cookie feels sad and left out. It's ok; I found him a good home. |
