    Lofthouse Sugar Cookies are a personal favorite. This copycat recipe tastes just like them. A soft sugar cookie made with sour cream and frosted with buttercream frosting. In honor of Valentine's Day, I used a heart-shaped cookie cutter and colored the frosting pink.

    What are Lofthouse Sugar Cookies?

    Lofthouse sugar cookies are made with both baking soda and baking powder. This gives them a more soft cake-like texture. Most recipes also call for sour cream.

    Can You Use a Different Frosting?

    You definitely could change the frosting if you prefer a different recipe. However, buttercream frosting is delicious with these cookies.

    How Do You Store These Cookies ?

    They can be stored in an airtight container on the counter for 5-7 days. In the freezer for 3-4 months.
