Calories: 340kcal
Ingredients
Sugar Cookie Dough
- 1 cup salted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 ¾ cups flour
- ¼ cup corn starch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Buttercream Frosting
- ½ cup butter softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3-4 Tbsp. milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl combine butter and sugar. Beat until fluffy. Turn the mixer down and add egg and extracts. Add baking powder. Add the flour and cornstarch and mix thoroughly. Keep mixing until the dough comes together.
- Use a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop to scoop all of the dough into balls.
- Roll each scoop of dough into a smooth ball. You'll need 1 Tablespoon-sized ball for the head and a 1 Tablespoon-sized ball for the body. For the ears and feet, divide a Tablespoon-sized ball into 8 smaller balls. Use 4 for the feet and 2 for the ears. To make the ears, pinch the ball into a triangular shape.
- Place rolled cookie dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet 2" apart. Flatten the cookie dough balls slightly with your fingers.
- Add the smaller balls and ears into place. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before decorating.
- Beat frosting ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Tint the frosting for the ears and carrots with food coloring.
- Use a small round frosting tip to pipe white frosting to attach the eyes. Use a round tip to pipe the pinks of the ears, the nose, and the carrot.

Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container.
Freeze leftover frosting in a freezer bag for up to 6 months. This is super handy to have on hand.
