Ingredients

Scale

For the cookies

  • 1 cup salted butter, softened
  • 1¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream

For the frosting

  • ½ cup salted butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the waffle cone crunch

  • ¾ cup crushed waffle cone pieces
  • 1½ tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, almond extract, and sour cream. Mix until combined.
  4. Add the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Mix just until a soft dough forms.
  5. Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon portions and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Gently flatten each dough ball.
  6. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still appear slightly underbaked. Do not allow the tops to brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. While the cookies cool, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
  8. Toss the crushed waffle cone pieces with the melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until evenly coated.
  9. Spread onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Cool completely.
  10. For the frosting, beat the butter until creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Mix in enough heavy cream to create a fluffy, spreadable frosting. Beat for 2 to 3 minutes until light and smooth.
  11. Frost the cooled cookies generously with the vanilla frosting.
  12. Sprinkle the waffle cone crunch over the frosting and gently press it into the frosting so it adheres.
