Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/4 cups unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup red sprinkles
  • 1/4 cup green sprinkles
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 - 3 tablespoons milk
  • Additional sprinkles for garnish

Instruction

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray mini muffin pans with baking spray and set aside.
  • In a bowl, add the butter and beat with a mixer for about 1 minute. Then add the powder sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat until creamy (2-3 minutes), scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Next, beat in the egg and vanilla. Then beat in the flour until just combined.
  • Divide the dough into two portions. Stir green sprinkles into one half and mix red sprinkles into the other half.
  • Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Then, press the balls into the prepared mini muffin pan. Press each dough ball with your thumb.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are light brown. Remove from the oven and press the centers with the rounded side of a measuring teaspoon. Cool in pan for 5 minutes. Then remove to finish cooling on a wire rack.
  • In the meantime, prepare the frosting by beating together the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Add as much milk as needed to create a smooth frosting.
  • Use a piping bag with a large star tip to frost the cooled cookies. Top with additional sprinkles. Pack and store in an air-tight container.
