Step-by-Step Instructions for Pastel Sugar Cookie Sandwiches
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, then add the egg and vanilla extract.
- Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt before gradually mixing it into the creamed mixture, then add milk.
- Divide the dough into portions and tint each with gel food coloring, mixing carefully until the desired shade is achieved.
- Scoop dough portions, roll them into balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes; the edges should be set while the centers remain soft.
- Beat softened butter for the filling until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar and salt, mixing in heavy cream or milk.
- Spread or pipe a layer of buttercream on one cookie, then top with another cookie to create sandwiches.
