- ¾ cups (173g) granulated sugar
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp cake batter flavoring
- 2 ¼ cups (342g) all-purpose flour

Frosting
- 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 Tbsp salted butter, room temperature
- 2 cups (214g) powdered sugar
- ¼ tsp cake batter flavoring

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. It typically takes about 2 minutes.
- Next, add in the eggs and cake batter flavoring. Once mixed, add in the flour, baking powder and sprinkles. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Divide the dough into 1 ½ Tbsp portions, roll into a ball and flatten slightly before arranging on the prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the centers of the cookies have puffed up and are no longer glossy.
- While the cookies are cooling, make the frosting, by whipping the butter and cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing each time until it is fully incorporated.
- Add in the cake batter flavoring and mix to incorporate. Add milk a tsp at a time until you've reached your desired consistency, if needed.
- Add the frosting to a piping bag fit with a round piping tip. Pipe on the cookie in a spiral, starting in the center and working your way out.
- Sprinkle some extra sprinkles on top and serve warm.
