I had a lady tell me that her son's favorite cookies are Lofthouse cookies from the store, but he has a severe nut allergy so they're no longer able to buy the cookies from the store (they are made in a place that makes things with nuts.) She was so thrilled when I instagramed a picture of my Lofthouse cookies last night and instantly emailed me and said, "I NEED YOUR RECIPE!!" It's little things like that, that make coming up with recipes worth while. I was so excited that I could make a little 9 year old boy happy. I can't wait to hear all about his reaction when she surprises him this weekend with cookies!
For all of you that love lofthouse cookies, but would like to make your own here it is!! The Homemade Lofthouse Sugar Cookie "Copycat" Recipe....
1 boxed White Cake mix
1 small Vanilla pudding package
3 Tbs. Sour Cream
1/3 C. Canola Oil
1 tsp. Vanilla
2/3 C. Flour
Directions
Your dough is going to be thick, so don't be surprised.
Heat your oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (YES, you have to use parchment paper or a baking mat for this recipe. It's MANDATORY!)
Roll dough into little balls and place on your baking sheet. Then take a cup and smash the ball down until it's about 1/2 inch thick.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, no longer; just so they have set up. Remove from oven and let sit on the baking sheet for 1 min. and then transfer to cooling rack. You want to make sure you don't cook longer than 10 min. because you don't want the bottom to brown or the top to brown. The great thing about Lofthouse cookies is that they are soft and white and moist and fluffy, not crisp on the bottom. The 10 min. will make sure the entire cookie is as soft as the original Lofthouse.
Once the cookie has cooled frost with whatever frosting recipe is your favorite. If you are going for the Lofthouse frosting you are going to make a simple buttercream. I like cream cheese frosting, but you choose whatever you like. Enjoy!
