Tips & tricks to achieve the most delicious cookies of your life!
Easy Marshmallow Buttercream Frosting
Combine the marshmallow fluff and butter in a bowl with a hand held mixer. Make sure the mixture is creamy and smooth.
Once that happens, add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Continue to mix until your buttercream is light, airy and perfect.
Fill a piping bag that is fitted with a star tip and make a rosette on the top of each spring sugar cookie.
To make the rosette, start at the outside of the cookie and continue in a circular motion until you get to the middle. Then pull the tip up and release.
The only thing left is to add a few beautiful sprinkles to the top of each cookie. The springier the better!
Allow the buttercream to set up for a couple of hours before stacking these Spring Sugar Cookies. That doesn’t mean that you can’t grab one or two to “test” while you wait.
There are always perks to being the chef.
