Course Dessert
Servings 3 Dozen

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups (4 Sticks) Sweet Cream Butter Slightly chilled (30-45 min on counter)
  • 2 Cups Sugar
  • 2 Tbs Vanilla Extract Tablespoons not Teaspoons :-)
  • 1 tsp Almond Extract
  • 4 tsp Baking Powder
  • 6 Cups All Purpose Flour

Frosting

  • 1 Cup (2 Sticks) Sweet Creamed Butter, Softened
  • 4 Cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 Tbs Vanilla
  • 2-3 Tbs Milk

Instructions

  1. Cream butter and sugar together until evenly incorporated.

  2. Add extracts and eggs and mix well.

  3. Mix in baking powder until well incorporated.

  4. Then add flour 2 cups at a time until dough comes together, don't over mix.

  5. Immediately transfer dough to floured surface and roll out to roughly 3/8" thickness.

  6. Cut out circular shapes with a cookie cutter (or biscuit cutter) and transfer to a lightly greased cookie sheet.

  7. Bake at 350° for 7-8 minutes, being careful not to over bake

  8. Transfer to a cooling rack, or paper towel to cool.

  9. To make the frosting soften 1 cup butter in microwave (15-20 seconds)

  10. Whisk in Vanilla and Milk

  11. Slowly whisk in powdered sugar until well incorporated.

  12. Divide frosting into smaller bowls and color with 1-2 drops neon food coloring of your choice. Reserve a small amount of frosting in the original bowl to color yellow

  13. Using a spatula, transfer yellow frosting into a quart ziplock freezer bag.. Seal the bag, and push the frosting towards the end of the bag. Cut a ¼ inch hole in the corner of the bag for piping.

  14. Slice marshmallows into disks (I usually get 3 disks/marshmallow)

  15. Once cookies are cooled, frost with desired color, and place 5-6 marshmallow petals on top of the frosting.

  16. Finish by piping a yellow center on the inside of the marshmallow petals.
