The soft sugar cookies are brightly frosted and sprinkled for each season\u2014and extremely hard to resist! It\u2019s easy to buy a package of cookies at the grocery store, but I think this copycat Lofthouse cookies recipe may result in treats even better than the store-bought version.<\/p>\n<h2>Copycat Lofthouse Cookie Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>All-purpose flour:<\/strong> To get the perfect copycat Lofthouse cookies, you\u2019ll need a lot of all-purpose flour\u20146 whole cups, plus a little extra for rolling out the dough. All that flour makes for a thick cookie.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Leavening agents:<\/strong> One of the best aspects of Lofthouse cookies is how fluffy they are. To re-create this fluffiness at home, you\u2019ll need both baking soda and baking powder to mimic that rise.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Since there are so few prominent flavors in a Lofthouse cookie, you\u2019ll want to reach for high-quality ingredients to achieve the best taste. There\u2019s a lot of butter in this recipe, so we recommend splurging on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-butter-taste-test\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-butter-taste-test\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best butter<\/a> from the store.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Granulated sugar is our sweetener of choice for this copycat Lofthouse cookies recipe. Don\u2019t use brown sugar\u2014the molasses will throw off the flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> Bring your eggs to room temperature before starting the recipe. Remove the eggs (and, while you\u2019re at it, the butter) from the fridge 30 minutes beforehand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract:<\/strong> As an avid baker, I\u2019ve always found that buying the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-vanilla-extract\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-vanilla-extract\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best vanilla extract<\/a> is worth the splurge, especially for recipes like this where you\u2019re using only\u00a0simple ingredients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sour cream:<\/strong> If you\u2019ve ever had a Lofthouse cookie, you know that they basically melt in your mouth. Well, we have sour cream to thank for that! Sour cream adds richness and moisture without weighing down the cookie.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frosting:<\/strong> For some of you, the frosting on a Lofthouse cookie is the very best part! To re-create a copycat version at home, you\u2019ll need softened butter, confectioners\u2019 sugar, vanilla extract, a touch of salt, heavy whipping cream, food coloring and, of course, rainbow sprinkles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Make the dough<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2089385\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Copycat-Lofthouse-Cookies_TOHVS24_277689_MR_12_03_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Dry ingredients for lofthouse cookies whisked together in a large bowl\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl, whisk together 6 cups all-purpose flour with the baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Flatten the balls into 1\/2-inch rectangular shapes and tightly wrap them in storage wrap. Refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> As you roll out the first disk in the next step, keep the second one in the fridge. The dough is much easier to work with when it&#8217;s cold.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Roll and cut out the dough<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2089390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Copycat-Lofthouse-Cookies_TOHVS24_277689_MR_12_03_6.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Rolling cookie dough into a thin sheet using a rolling pin on kitchen countertop\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F. Sprinkle the remaining 1\/4 cup all-purpose flour on a cutting board or countertop. Grab a rolling pin and roll out the dough into a 1\/4-inch-thick circle.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2089391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Copycat-Lofthouse-Cookies_TOHVS24_277689_MR_12_03_7.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Cookie dough cut into round circles placed on parchment paper lined baking sheet\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out circles for the cookies. Transfer the dough circles to parchment-lined baking sheets.<\/p>\n<p>Pop the baking sheets in the oven and bake until the cookies are lightly golden on the edges, seven to eight minutes. Take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool slightly, then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely to room temperature.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> Cut out as many cookies as you can so you don&#8217;t have to re-roll the dough. Since the dough is floured to prevent sticking, kneading the extra dough together will absorb that flour, creating drier cookies.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Make the frosting<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2089392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Copycat-Lofthouse-Cookies_TOHVS24_277689_MR_12_03_8.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Butter cubes in a large glass bowl with mixer paddle in it\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and vanilla extract on medium speed until fluffy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2089393 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Copycat-Lofthouse-Cookies_TOHVS24_277689_MR_12_03_9.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Creamed butter and sugar mixed together in a large glass bowl with a mixer\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Slowly beat in the confectioners\u2019 sugar and the salt.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2089386\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Copycat-Lofthouse-Cookies_TOHVS24_277689_MR_12_03_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Butter and sugar mixed in a large bowl in a mixer\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Once the frosting is smooth and creamy, slowly beat in the heavy cream until the frosting is super light and fluffy, two to three minutes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2089394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Copycat-Lofthouse-Cookies_TOHVS24_277689_MR_12_03_10.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Pink colored cookie frosting mixed in a large bowl\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Finally, beat in the food coloring, if desired.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Decorate the cookies<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2089395\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Copycat-Lofthouse-Cookies_TOHVS24_277689_MR_12_03_11.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Spreading pink colored cookie frosting on baked cookie with a spatula\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Once the cookies have cooled completely to room temperature, spread the frosting on the cookies.

You could also use lemon or orange extract for the same effect.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Play around with baking spices:<\/strong> Any fall-obsessed bakers out there? Break out the fall spices from your cabinet and shake them into the dough. For ease, I like using a pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice blend. Then, color the frosting a gorgeous orange hue and search for fall-colored or leaf-shaped sprinkles for the top.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change the frosting:<\/strong> Lofthouse cookies&#8217; frosting is iconic, but if you\u2019re not a fan, that\u2019s OK!

Follow the same storing directions as above, then pop them in the freezer. They can be frozen for up to three months.

The dough also includes sour cream to keep the cookies moist. The texture is soft and airy, like a cross between a cookie and a cupcake.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the best food coloring to use for this copycat Lofthouse cookies recipe?<\/h3>\n<p>The best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/types-of-food-coloring\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/types-of-food-coloring\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">type of food coloring<\/a> to use for the frosting is pink gel food coloring. It\u2019ll provide the most vivid color without having to use much of it. Traditional liquid food coloring can do the job just fine, though. If you\u2019re interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/natural-food-dyes-you-can-make-at-home\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/natural-food-dyes-you-can-make-at-home\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">natural food dyes<\/a>, use freeze-dried raspberries or strawberries, or try beet juice. Just know that you won&#8217;t get as vivid of a color as with artificial food dyes.<\/p>\n<h3>Why did my Lofthouse cookies turn out so dry?<\/h3>\n<p>If your Lofthouse cookies are more dry than melt-in-your-mouth, you may have added too much flour. This could happen from not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-measure-flour-the-right-way\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-measure-flour-the-right-way\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">measuring flour the right way<\/a>. Next time, use a spoon or fork to fluff up the flour, then spoon the flour into the measuring cup rather than digging the measuring cup in the flour. Add enough flour so it&#8217;s heaped in the cup, then scrape off the excess with the flat side of a butter knife.<\/p>\n<p>Another misstep that can occur is over-flouring the countertop when rolling out the dough. The dough can absorb the excess flour, leading to a drier cookie. Next time, flick just enough flour onto the countertop, using a motion similar to skipping a rock across the water&#8217;s surface.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, re-rolling the extra cookie scraps can cause those cookies to come out a bit too dry. Doing this introduces excess flour into the cookie dough, leading to dense and dry cookies.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;re familiar with the colorful, frosted Lofthouse cookies at the grocery store.

Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out circles for the cookies. Transfer the dough circles to parchment-lined baking sheets. Pop the baking sheets in the oven and bake until the cookies are lightly golden on the edges, seven to eight minutes. Take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool slightly, then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely to room temperature. Editor's Tip: Cut out as many cookies as you can so you don't have to re-roll the dough. Since the dough is floured to prevent sticking, kneading the extra dough together will absorb that flour, creating drier cookies.","image":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Copycat-Lofthouse-Cookies_TOHVS24_277689_MR_12_03_6.jpg?fit=700,1024"},{"@type":"HowToStep","name":"Make the frosting","text":"In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and vanilla extract on medium speed until fluffy.
