FRENCH TOAST SUGAR COOKIES
Attention: These cookies taste like french toast, but they also taste just like a brown sugar cinnamon Pop Tart. In other words, childhood, reclaimed!
The initial idea was to make a french toast cookie, and I think I achieved that.
Cinnamon cookie + maple buttercream frosting = edible gold.
But I also think I figured out a much less tedious way to make homemade Pop Tarts. Exciting, right?! I mean…come on.
I can't decide if these taste more like french toast or a brown sugar cinnamon Pop-Tart! Either way, these sugar cookies are fabulous and a total hit with my family and friends. Enjoy!
Ingredients
COOKIES
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, slightly softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
FROSTING
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 1 lb powdered sugar
- 2-3 tsp maple extract
- 2-4 Tbsp milk, or to desired consistency
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C).
- Cream sugar and butter with mixer; add egg and beat until combined.
- Add dry ingredients to a sifter. Alternate adding milk and dry ingredients to the butter mixture while mixing. Then add vanilla and stir.
- Chill for 30 minutes before rolling out. Roll out on floured surface, cut into squares and bake at 375 degrees for 10-11 minutes, being careful not to over-bake.
- To make the frosting, cream softened butter with 1 cup of the powdered sugar and then slowly add in the rest.
- Add maple extract (I used 3 tsp) and milk, and stir. The consistency you’re looking for is thick and spreadable; not runny.
- Frost cookies, sprinkle with cinnamon and enjoy! Store in an air-tight container at room temperature to keep fresh for at least 3 days.
