Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, beating until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Drop tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft. Do not overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the frosting, whisk together the powdered sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.
Once the cookies have completely cooled, spread a generous amount of frosting on top of each one. Let the frosting set for 15-20 minutes before serving.
Enjoy your Jubilee Jumbles as a delightful dessert or snack!
