Coca-Cola Cookies

Another Covid-19 trial. My granddaughter, Pippa, helped me make them and ate quite a bit of dough and icing. They are moist and tasty but no one would guess they had Coke in them, by color or taste.

Yield:

24

Ingredients:

2½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ cup butter at room temperature
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup light brown sugar packed
½ cup Coca-Cola at room temperature
1 egg room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For frosting
½ cup butter at room temperature
¼ cup Coca-Cola at room temperature
4 cups powdered sugar

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.

3. Cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar, until light and fluffy.

4. Beat in vanilla extract, egg, and Coca-Cola, until just combined.

5. Slowly beat in the flour mixture, about a half of a cup at a time, until just combined.

6. Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough onto a parchment paper or silicon mat lined baking sheet. The cookies should be about two inches apart to allow for some spreading.

7. Bake for about 13 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking. Remove from the oven, allow to sit on the pan for about two minutes, then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely before.

8. To make frosting, beat butter until it begins to turn creamy.

9. Stir in the first cup of sugar.

10. Once combined, stir in the Coca-Cola.

11. Then stir in the remaining cups of sugar, one at a time.

12. Pipe onto cooled cookies and top with sprinkles.
