Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup Butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 drops Red food coloring
- 0.5 cup Sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat 1 cup of softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add 1 large egg and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with 2 tablespoons of milk, until a dough forms.
Roll tablespoons of dough into balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Press each ball gently with the bottom of a glass or palm of your hand to flatten slightly.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden brown.
Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
To prepare the frosting, beat 0.25 cup of softened butter with 2 cups of powdered sugar in a mixing bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the frosting; continue beating until smooth.
Mix in 2 drops of red food coloring to achieve a soft pink color.
Once cookies are completely cooled, spread a layer of pink frosting on each cookie using a knife or spatula.
Top the frosted cookies with sprinkles immediately to ensure they stick.
Allow frosting to set at room temperature before serving.
