Ingredients

  1. 1 cupunsalted butter, cubed, cold
  2. 1 cupgranulated sugar
  3. 1large egg
  4. 1 teaspoonvanilla extract
  5. 1 pinchsalt
  6. 2 teaspoonsbaking powder
  7. 3 cupsflour
  8. 3 tspmilk(if dough is a bit hard)
  9. Other ingredients
  10. Your desired topping options
  11. I used strawberries, raspberries, apple slices, oreos
  12. Whipping cream/Butter cream
  13. Number or letter templates(available from Pintrest)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Get all your ingredients ready

  2. 2

    Making The Sugar Cookie Dough

    Beat your butter and sugar till creamy and airy. Add in vanilla essence and egg and beat for a few more seconds. Add in your salt and baking powder. Use a spatula or hand/stand mixer with dough attachments for this. You can use your hands too once you start adding the flour. Do so in bits till a smooth dough forms. Add some milk if the dough feels a bit hard. Good news, no need to refrigerate dough, thanks to the cold butter.

  3. 3

    Cutting the desired shape

    I had a number two template(downloaded and printed from Pintrest). Place it on a rolled out dough and trace out the figure. Do so on a floured wax/grease paper.

  4. 4

    Make two of them (or depending on how many you need) and place on a baking sheet(with the wax paper on). Put it in a preheated oven at 200 degrees C for about 5-8 minutes. Do not over-bake it or it will become too hard. Remove it and let it cool before decorating it

  5. 5

    Decorating your cake

    Whip your cream till stiff peaks form. Prepare your buttercream if you prefer that.

    Get your cookie ready. Pour your buttercream/whipping cream into a piping bag. You can use the nozzle with a circle tip or cut the tip of your reusable piping bag(It gives a dollop-kind of presentation).

    Start by decorating one of the cookie layers. Gently place the second layer and do the same.

  6. 6

    Disclaimer: I used the star-tip for the second layer of cookie.

    You can now decorate your cake as you please. Fruits, chocolate, chocolate shavings, oreos, and flowers are some of the options. Get creative

  7. 7

    Another option

  8. 8

    And cutting the cake is no messy affair… Tip: Do not over-bake it
