Ingredients
– 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour for structure and tenderness
– 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar for sweetness and browning
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened for rich texture
– 2 large eggs for binding and moisture
– 1 tsp vanilla extract for flavor depth
– 1 tsp pink food coloring for pink hue
– 1 tsp baking soda for rise
– 1/2 tsp salt for balancing sweetness
– 1/4 cup buttermilk for tanginess and softness
– White chocolate chips for decadence
– Sprinkles for festive touch
Notes
🎨 Use gel food coloring instead of liquid for the most vibrant pink color without affecting the dough consistency
❄️ Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and help maintain the pink color during baking
🎁 For extra holiday flair, add crushed peppermint candies or drizzle with white chocolate after frosting
