Instructions
Birthday Cake Cookies
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and both sugars. Add vanilla and egg. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, corn starch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl and mix until combined.
- Add rainbow jimmies sprinkles to the bowl and mix.
- Add parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to a baking sheet. Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough onto the baking sheet. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Do not skip this step, or the cookies will spread as they bake.
- Preheat the oven to 375℉. Take the cookies directly from the fridge to the oven and bake for 11-13 minutes, until the tops are crisp and the centers are still slightly underdone.
Whipped Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
- While the cookies bake, prepare the frosting. Whip butter for 2 minutes in an electric mixer with a whisk attachment until fluffy. Add vanilla and slowly add powdered sugar until combined. Add 1-2 tablespoons of milk, depending on consistency, and continue to whip the frosting for an additional 2 minutes.
- Once the cookies are cooled, use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop or a spoon and add a dollop of frosting to each cookie. Add rainbow sprinkles on top of the frosting.
