Step By Step
-
Step 1
Preheat oven to convection 350 degrees fahrenheit.
Beat room temperature butter in stand mixer/by hand for 3-5 minutes (or until butter turns off-white).
-
Step 2
Add in white sugar. Beat the sugar with the butter until the mixture is fluffy (about 2 minutes).
-
Step 3
Add your large egg and stir into mixture.
Mix in vanilla extract, butter extract, and almond extract. Also add corn syrup.
-
Step 4
Add all purpose flour and baking soda to form your dough. If using a stand mixer, mix on low. If mixing by hand, use a spatula.
-
Step 5
Use a 1/3 cup scoop (or however much your heart desires) and place a single ball of dough on baking tray. THIS IS YOUR TEST COOKIE! Always start with baking a single cookie, to make sure you didn’t forget an ingredient and/or your oven isn’t too hot (some ovens have hot-spots or cook things quicker/slower than others). This is also a good indicator of how much your cookie will spread.
I flattened my cookies a little (I recommend to do the same)
-
Step 6
Bake cookies in oven for 10-12 minutes
The cookies may seem a little underdone, but it will prevent them from being dry and crumbly.
-
Step 7
Add food coloring to your frosting.
-
Step 8
For perfectly circular cookies, use a circular bowl/cup and swirl around your fresh cookie to make edges clean. Then let cookies sit on tray for about 10 minutes before removing.
Cool your cookies in the fridge before icing.
-
Step 9
Add thin layer of frosting to cookie and flatten with a spoon or spatula.
Pipe a cylinder in the middle of your cookie for the frog body.
Pipe a circle on top for the frog head.
Use a smaller piping tip to pipe the arms and legs.
Using the smaller piping tip, pipe 2 dots on the top to make the frogs eyes. Pipe a thin layer of white on the frog eyes. Lastly, using an even smaller tip, pipe black onto the frog eyes.
Use your purple and blue frosting to pipe flowers onto parchment paper. Freeze these for 15-30 minutes before putting on top of cookie.

Step 10
You can store these in the fridge for up to 10 days or at room temperature for 8 days! I recommend to keep these cooled so the frosting doesn’t melt off.
