Cheryl's Cookies buttercream icing recipe
Friday, February 23, 2007
Does anyone have a buttercream icing/frosting recipe that tastes just like the one Cheryl's Cookies uses on their sugar cookies?
I love those cookies but they're sooooo expensive, I'd like to try to make my own. Thanks

Jason-You can order and request a catalog at www.cherylscookies.com. They are very very good but also quite expensive. They usually have some free shipping deals.

I also found the Cheryl's Cookie Recipe:
2 each eggs
1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
3 cups flour all-purpose
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup walnuts chopped
Directions:
Beat first 5 ingredients, then stir by hand the soda, powder and flour. When it turns to dough, add the nuts and chips. Put a tablespoonful of dough onto a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 8-12 minutes. As an experiment, you can try leaving out a little bit of margarine and replacing it with peanut butter, or replacing a little of the flour (about a cup) with oatmeal.
Notes:
If the dough is sticky, add a little flour or oatmeal until it's easier to handle. If it's too "wet" the cookies will turn out crunchy and flat.

Give this a try:
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter flavor Crisco
1/4 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
5 cups confectioners sugar
In a large bowl, cream butter and shortening until fluffy and light. Add vanilla, confectioners sugar, salt and milk. Beat well.
