 Welcome back to my channel and welcome back to another baking series I am so excited to share this recipe with you. This is my Easter baking series So as you know, I do like to share some baked good recipes with you throughout the year And what better time than the holidays? So this is a sugar cookie not just your ordinary sugar cookie, but a frosted sugar cookie with candy on top That is WW friendly. You heard me sugar cookie with frosting and candy So excited to share this recipe with you guys So if you want to see step-by-step how to make the recipe check out the description box below for the recipe itself Just keep watching For Easter baking series We are going to be making super soft sugar cookies with frosting topped with candy that are WW friendly If you are a fan of those loft house sugar cookies, these are going to be similar to those So let me show you what we are putting in our sugar cookies. So you're going to need some all-purpose flour Some sort of sugar substitute. I'm going to use Truvia My points were calculated using this sugarcane blend which does have smart points So if you use an alternative sugar that does not have points Stevia are one of those you can modify the points to the recipe. I Also have baking powder baking soda Vanilla extract. I'm going to be using Pillsbury sugar-free frosting if you do not have access to this It is in my Amazon store down in the description box Or you can make your own frosting using cool whip or swerve or anything that you want to do But I am going to tell you the points using this frosting. I also have some fun neon food coloring some light butter Some organic eggs or any type of egg We're actually only going to be using the yolk and then I'm going to top mine with whoppers mini eggs So let's get started on our sugar cookies So the first thing we need to do for our cookies is we're going to go ahead and take our flour Here we have two and a half cups of flour. We're going to put the flour in a separate bowl We want to do our dry ingredients prior to our wet ingredients and then in my little red bowl here I have my leveling agents. So I have three quarters of a teaspoon of baking soda and a teaspoon of baking powder We're going to go ahead and add that to our bowl And then we're just going to give this a nice whisk together Just make sure that that baking powder and soda get mixed in with all of your flour And then you're going to go ahead and you're going to set this aside And we're going to get started on our wet ingredients Next we're going to do our wet ingredients So you have one cup or one I'm sorry one and a half cups of Truvilla or any type of sweetener alternative that you want to use and then I also Have one cup of I can't believe it's not butter So I'm going to go ahead and add that now you can either measure it out in a cup or You can figure out how many grams by googling the grams of butter in one cup and measure it out on your food scale So I went ahead and did it on my food scale and then just did it into a measuring cup So either way works and you're going to take your hand mixer And you're just going to give this a nice mix until your butter and your sugar are nice and combined And then we'll be adding in some of our additional wet ingredients Once you get your sugar and butter nice and creamed together The next step is we are going to be adding in our vanilla extract This is my all-time favorite the Trader Joe's so we want to add in about a teaspoon of vanilla extract And then we are also going to add in three egg yolks And then we'll take a spoon to that mix that all together get it kind of nice and combine Before we add in our dry ingredients so our flour our baking soda and our baking powder The recipe specifically says do not over mix So I'm just gonna gently incorporate in the eggs and the vanilla and then we will go ahead and add in our Bowl of our flour baking soda baking powder and again We don't want to over mix so we want to be really careful to just get everything nice and incorporated And then we will be ready to get these in to the oven on a cookie sheet first and into the oven Next once your dough is all nice and mixed together We are going to take a cookie scoop and we are going to scoop out our cookies We want them about two inches apart so that they don't Bleed into each other my goal is to get either 24 or 36 cookies out of my dough And that will determine the number of smart points So I'm going to scoop it out fill my tray see how many I can get and then we'll be ready to pop These in to the oven but these already look so delicious So here we have 15 Bald of cookie dough I'm going to go ahead and get these into the oven at 350 until they are cooked through and I'll continue to scoop and see Exactly how many cookies I end up with All right, our cookies have cooled so here is what they look like all nice and cooled You did see that I had mixed my frosting so I'm going to go ahead and start frosting the cookies So I'm going to take the cookie. I'm going to start with the pink And I'm just going to put a fairly Not a thin layer, but an average layer of frosting on top of the cookie We want less than a tablespoon because we want one smart point of Frosting per cookie, which would be less than a tablespoon in order to achieve the one smart point I pulled out my little green Wilton sprinkles. These are leftover from St. Patrick's Day. I am going to sprinkle those right on top of my cookie So that it looks all nice and festive for Easter and then over here I have my robin's eggs, so I am going to go ahead and add three robin's egg to each cookie so it looks like a nest and Three of the whoppers robin's eggs is one smart point So there is our completed Easter cookie. Isn't that adorable? So I'm going to go ahead and set those aside. We'll repeat that with the purple frosting So let's frost one of our cookies with the purple as well And I'm just going to go through and frost all of my cookies. I ended up getting 32 total out of my Batch of dough, so I will be counting my points according to 32. So again sprinkles robin's eggs and Ready to go on to the sheet to continue to cool So cute how fun are these for Easter? So let me get everything frosted and then I will be back to give you the smart points and show you the finished product So here are our completed cookies on my adorable little Easter plate These are so good. I just had one. These are amazing. They are soft They are sweet to that crunch of that whoppers egg on top is so good Look at these up close with all of that frosting three of those delicious eggs on top These cookies are only four smart points apiece for smart points including the frosting and Including the whoppers candy on top So if you are looking for a Easter Ww friendly treat on Easter or leading up to Easter to keep you away from all that Easter candy four points for a frosted sugar cookie is Definitely going to steer you clear of all of the non Ww friendly Easter candy.
