📝 Instructions

15 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup of softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

4. Add 1 large egg and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until combined.

5. Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with 2 tablespoons of milk, until a dough forms.

6. Roll tablespoons of dough into balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

7. Press each ball gently with the bottom of a glass or palm of your hand to flatten slightly.

8. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden brown.

9. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

10. To prepare the frosting, beat 0.25 cup of softened butter with 2 cups of powdered sugar in a mixing bowl.

11. Add 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the frosting; continue beating until smooth.

12. Mix in 2 drops of red food coloring to achieve a soft pink color.

13. Once cookies are completely cooled, spread a layer of pink frosting on each cookie using a knife or spatula.

14. Top the frosted cookies with sprinkles immediately to ensure they stick.

15. Allow frosting to set at room temperature before serving.
