Lofthouse Sugar Cookie Mini Cakes Recipe

Lofthouse Sugar Cookie Mini Cakes are an adorable and EASY treat fun to make in any holiday colors (or even just classic pink)!

I don’t know if you’ve noticed or not (it’s kind of my life, so I noticed), but there is a mega wave of blogger cookbooks happening at the moment!

I’ll be doing reviews for quite a few of them in the coming weeks, and I’m super excited to introduce this first one to you: Smart Cookie, by Christi Johnstone who authors the fantabulous blog, Love From the Oven.

Christi produces nothing but GORGEOUS work (um, hello pumpkin cupcakes with cinnamon swirl frosting!), and her book is completely stunning. Not to mention, it’s so much fun!! It’s all about taking store-bought, pre-made cookies and turning them into something completely different.

Like Lofthouse Sugar Cookies, for instance.

I was instantly drawn to this recipe in Christi’s book. I have absolutely no resistance-power when it comes to Lofthouse sugar cookies to start with, but making them into the most adorable mini cakes ever is just way too much cute-ness for me to ever say no to!

I love, love, love that you can adapt these so easily to any holiday throughout the year. In Christi’s book, she’s used the iconic pink frosted cookies (which I heart, and, now come to think of it, would have been super appropriate for BCA in October!). But look at how cute orange and purple are for Halloween!

There is always a fun variety of seasonal colors to choose from all year long. And I’ve even noticed some new flavors too! Recently I saw Apple Cider Lofthouse Cookies and Maple Lofthouse cookies– how fun would those flavors be in these cakes?!

These cakes are so, so, SO simple to make. And so freaking adorable. I mean…. just really.

And there are so many other amazingly fun and cute ideas in Christi’s book!! I’m providing a link to buy it on Amazon, but I’ve already seen it in my local Barnes & Noble– so that’s an option too! Either way, be sure to pick up a copy. It’s such a bright, beautiful addition to any cookbook collection.
