Lofthouse cookie. You probably have not heard of them, but you definitely have had them before. I like to call them the Walmart or Stop and Shop cookies. The sugar cookies with the frosting in the packages of 12. Yeah, those cookies. I was talking about these at work the other day, and it inspired me to make them. So that’s what I did. Let me just say that they are the most complicated cookies I have ever made – then again my specialty is the chocolate chip cookie – not a lot of steps to follow.
I got this recipe from a blog called “2 Peas and their Pod.” Cute? yeah. But their bougie little site offered more stuff to make than we could afford. I do admit their recipes are not for the cheapos. That being said, I spent more than I would have liked to make these cookies. AND you have to chill them overnight, so plan ahead. Thank god I read this blog on a Wednesday because I planned to bring these in for one of our summer Fridays.
I don’t have a whisk, a mixer, nor a hand-held mixer, I whipped the crap out of those cookies by hand. The dough tasted stale, the frosting was too sweet. HOWEVER, the next day they tasted AMAZING! And the plate of 3 dozen disappeared at work. What a freakin experience with these cookies. I was so afraid to bring them in, but the frosting and the sugar cookie combo worked. I would recommend these to anyone. Please try these for yourself and let us know how they turned out!
thanks for share this great thread.
