There are a few treats that I have trouble passing by at the grocery store. One of those goodies are Lofthouse cookies, especially when they're decorated for Valentine's Day. So this year, I decided to try baking my own. These copycats are very similar to the store bought version and are pretty yummy! They are soft and sweet and decadent. If you haven't tried Lofthouse cookies before, you definitely should grab a box soon! Or try out this recipe! I used the recipe from Two Peas and Their Pod. Since it was my first time making this type of cookie, I followed the recipe almost exactly as they wrote it. The only ingredient that I adjusted was the vanilla in the frosting, which I doubled (just because I love vanilla!) . I also chilled the cookie dough a little differently because of how my dough turned out. It was too soft and sticky to form disks right away, so I chilled the dough in the bowl for about two hours before making disks to cool for longer. I will also warn you that this recipe makes a ton of dough (and cookies). My mixer had trouble handling all of the batter, so I'd recommend incorporating the last of the dry ingredients by hand (with a spoon, not your actual hands...too sticky and messy!). I loved this recipe and will use it again! Recipe |
