Sugar Plum Fairy Iced Cookies

Sugar Cookies, Cream Cheese Icing and Sprinkles are a combination that is tasty any time of year.

Want to know the BEST part of making these cookies?

The dough just needs wet ingredients.

And the icing just needs to be scooped.

Some people love to make all their cookies from scratch. I get it.

This recipe is for the times when you need to get a batch of sugar cookies made in a crunch.

These are the INGREDIENTS you will need:

  • 2 pouches Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix
  • 2 large large eggs
  • 16 tablespoons 2 sticks of unsalted butter 16 TBS
  • 1/2 can Betty Crocker Cream Cheese Frosting
  • 3 tablespoons sprinkles or colored sugar, or to suit

These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment add cookie mix, eggs and butter. Beat on low about 2 minutes until well blended.
  • Place in fridge for 2 hours.
  • Using a 1 inch cookie baller roll cookies into ball.
  • Place on lined cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in oven for 8-10 minutes until cookie rises. Do not over bake. Cookie may still look white but will continue to cook while cooling on baking pan.
  • Remove cookie from pan after cool. Frost each cookie with icing. Pour sprinkles into cap of bottle and carefully shake over icing. Press slightly on top of cookie to seat the sprinkles.
  • Allow icing to harden and serve.

NOTES:

If you make dough up to one day ahead of time you can refrigerate over night.Dough will get sticky as it warms to room temperature, so cook while still slightly cold.

You have all your cookie baking done.

All your cookie tins are already prepared for holiday giving.

The cookies for the church get together are made.

The cookies for the school party are iced and sprinkled and and ready to deliver.

Even your cookie exchange is marked off your list.

Then the husband comes home.

The office has decided to go ahead with their annual Christmas party after all.

He was selected to bring the cookies. 6 dozen. TOMORROW!

This ruins your sense of accomplishment being ready for the season.

But help is on the way.

These delicious, gorgeous, and easy to get on the platter are on your list.

Once in a while an almost already prepared recipe exists in your recipe box.

Go ahead. Invite the kiddos. They will eagerly offer to help daddy out.

It will be a pleasant memory they won’t forget.

And you can go back to wishing for for peace and tranquillity and some time in the tub alone with your thoughts.

Way to go mom!

I love to decorate cookies, but I am a very messy creative. Drop cookies are my favorite.

There is just something about rolling that dough and dropping the spoonful onto the baking sheet that makes me feel I am a part of the season.

Then spreading the icing and adding the final touches warms my heart and makes me smile. I am always glad no one is watching and wondering what is going through my mind.

Listening to the Holiday music makes me want to sing, but my family is very glad when I decide not to ruin the moment!

 A lifetime of memories have been made in that kitchen. Mostly good and some not so good but worth making wishes upon.

Do you wish upon memories? My favorite wish is for the sugar fairy and Santa’s elves to come and do the dishes. What is yours?

      Thanks Amy. My granddaughter inspired me to make these cookies. And she has wished upon them every year. I always ask the same thing. Someone to do the dishes. LOL. Sometimes it works! Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday!

      It is very easy! A pouch, butter, eggs, and icing, then decorate it! They will love it. And if you rather, you can dip the cookie face down in the icing instead of using a utensil to spread it! Thanks for commenting. Don’t forget to have them “wish upon a cookie!”
