Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups salted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder

Frosting

  • 3/4 cup salted butter
  • 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • Up to 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a cookie sheet with either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  • Cream together the butter and granulated sugar using either a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer.
  • Scrape the sides of the bowl and add in the eggs, vanilla extract and canola oil.
  • Once incorporated, add in the flour and baking powder. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  • Portion out the dough into a generous 1/3 of a cup portions (a #12 scoop is perfect). Roll into a ball and then flatten slightly before baking.
  • Bake at 350° F for 11-13 minutes or until the cookies have spread and the center of the cookie no longer looks wet and glossy.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely on the pan. Once the cookies have cooled, make the frosting.
  • To make the frosting, slowly cream the butter until smooth.
  • Add powdered sugar one cup at a time. Add a splash of heavy cream to the bowl to help incorporate the powdered sugar into the butter.
  • Repeat the last step until all 4 1/2 cups of powdered sugar has been added.
  • Add in the vanilla extract. Add more heavy cream to thin the frosting, if needed.
  • Generously frost each cookie and serve chilled.
