This Lofty Sugar Cookie is a quick go-to for any occasion! It only requires one-bowl and about 20 minutes of prep, so they can be made on a moment's notice. My family used to love the Lofthouse cookies from the grocery store, but after switching to fresh flour we just can't go back to those sadly. I am so excited to finally get to share this recipe that's been in-work for quite a while!
This cookie is not a replacement for the standard no-spread sugar cookie with royal icing. Rather, THIS is your soft puffy cookie with the most delicious buttercream frosting that just melts in your mouth each bite. They are seriously so delicious!
These soft, decadent Crinkle Cookies feature the iconic powdery, cracked surface we all love. The fresh flour adds a tenderness that is irresistible and the espresso powder adds a deep, rich chocolate flavor and makes them stand apart from their more typical mega-sweet counterparts.
They will be very soft when they come out of the oven and setup as they cool. If you bake them for too long, the centers will not be fudgy. The fudgy soft center paired with the slight crunch on the outside is to die for!
