Sugar Cake Cookies-this recipe is everything you love about cake, in a cookie!
These cookies are the muffin tops of the cake world.
If you ever watched Seinfeld, there was an entire episode dedicated to how the best part of a muffin, is the top. It’s kinda true, although with a muffin, the whole thing is pretty good. After all there is no frosting on a muffin.
When it comes to cupcakes, however, The top of the cupcake holds the frosting!
I recently was given several recipes that belonged to my Grandmother. Among those recipes was one for Sugar Cakes. Not sure what I was actually making, the directions were vague, I soon realized, yet again, what an amazing woman my Grandma was.
This is a cake batter, baked like a cookie.
A batter stiff enough to hold it’s shape but soft enough to produce a tender cake…cookie. No muffin tin needed. No pretty cupcake paper liners. No bottom of the cupcake, to eat dry, without frosting.
These cookies are perfect for a party. Top with your favorite white buttercream frosting, or the flavor this vanilla cookie with a chocolate fudge frosting would also be amazing!
Even plain, with just sprinkles on top, these cake cookies are a must make!
