Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups (333g) salted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (345g) granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 ½ tsp cake batter flavoring
  • pink food coloring
  • 4 ½ cups (684g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder

Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 1/4 cup (56g) butter, softened
  • 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 4 cups (428g) powdered sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • milk or heavy cream, to thin
  • Christmas sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. I typically mix for about 2 minutes in my stand mixer.
    1 ½ cups (333g) salted butter, softened, 1 ½ cups (345g) granulated sugar
  • Add in the eggs, cake batter flavoring and a few drops of pink food coloring. Once mixed, add in the flour and baking powder. Mix until thoroughly combined.
    3 eggs, 1 ½ tsp cake batter flavoring, pink food coloring, 4 ½ cups (684g) all-purpose flour, 3 tsp baking powder
  • Divide the dough into 3 Tbsp portions and roll into a ball and flatten slightly before arranging on a parchment or silicone lined 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, cream cheese, and vanilla until smooth.
    1/4 cup (56g) butter, softened, 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature, 2 tsp vanilla
  • Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time. Add in the pinch of salt and then add milk a few tsp at a time until you've reached your desired consistency.
    4 cups (428g) powdered sugar, 1 pinch salt, milk or heavy cream, to thin
  • Put the finished frosting into a piping bag fit with a round piping tip. Pipe the frosting onto the still warm cookie in a spiral, starting in the center and working your way out and top immediately with Christmas Sprinkles.
