(recipe) sugar cookies with buttercream topping

So here are some sugar cookies i made for easter.

I don't make too many cookies, infact i dont even remember last time i made any. Soooo i  used Marthat Stewards buttercream recipe, turned out great! And the dough i made from a package, i didn't want to experiment, just needed them to turn out good. We used easter shapes for the cookies, and i was going to decorate them pretty, but then didn't have the time, so i just did whatever i did.

Here's Viola playing with the dough.

And here's the sugar cookie mix i used, you can find them at any store.

And here's the recipe to the buttercream:

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
• 3 large egg whites
• Pinch of salt
• 2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, softened
• any food coloring

Directions

1.     Whisk sugar, egg whites, and salt in a heatproof mixer bowl set over a pan of simmering water until sugar dissolves and syrup registers 160 degrees on a candy thermometer.

2.     Transfer bowl to mixer, and whisk sugar syrup on medium speed for 5 minutes. Raise speed to medium-high, and whisk until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 6 minutes.

3.     Reduce speed to medium. Add butter, 1 piece at a time, whisking well after each addition. Whisk in food coloring.

Enjoy,
