Easy Watermelon Sugar Cookies

·         1/2 cup butter

·         6 TBSP Butter Flavored Crisco

·         1/2 cup granulated sugar

·         1/2 cup powdered sugar

·         1 TBSP milk

·         1 egg

·         1/4 tsp baking soda

·         1/4 tsp Cream of Tartar

·         1/2 tsp salt

·         2 1/4 cups flour

Amazing Buttercream Frosting

·         1/2 cup softened butter

·         1 1/2 tsp vanilla

·         4 cups powdered sugar

·         3-4 TBSP milk

·         chocolate “Jimmie” sprinkles

·         red & green coloring

To make the cookies: In a large mixing bowl (or stand mixer), cream together butter, Crisco, sugar, powdered sugar and milk. Add egg and mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt.  Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until smooth and well combined. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on a greased cookie sheet. Spray the bottom of a glass or measuring cup with cooking spray and then dip into a plate coated with a thin layer of sugar. Press each ball down slightly.  You don’t want to smash them too thin because these cookies are best when they are thick and soft. Bake for 8-9 minutes at 350 degrees F. Cool cookies completely.

To make the frosting: Mix butter, vanilla and milk for 30 seconds with a mixer. Add in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
