Knowing how much he loves frosted soft sugar cookies, I knew they’d make a great birthday cookie cake. He’s loved frosted soft sugar cookies since the morning I wheeled him past the bakery at our local Publix and the sweetest lady in charge of the bakery asked if he could have a cookie. She picked out a soft sugar cookie topped with white frosting and blue and red sprinkles. I’ll never forget the sprinkles, because he looked at them and waited until I picked one off and ate it before he would eat it. As I pushed him through the store, he kept saying, “Mmmmmm” and closing his eyes with each bite he took. That started his love affair with these cookies. For years, I refused to learn a recipe to make them, because I knew I loved them just as much as he did and wouldn’t be satisfied with just one. Later though, I decided that the Publix bakery really shouldn’t get the memory of a favorite cookie. So, I tried numerous recipes for making them and finally found one that he approved. His soft sugar cookie stamp of approval was hard-earned and oh-so worth it! For his birthday this year, I decided to make him a frosted soft sugar cookie cake. I used my frosted soft sugar cookie recipe and made vanilla bean buttercream frosting for the top. Perfection! Here’s the recipe for my Frosted Soft Sugar Cookies that you can easily make into a cookie cake for a special occasion. I hope these cookies bring as many special memories to your family as they do for ours.
