Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine softened salted butter and granulated sugar. Cream until light and fluffy, about two minutes.
- Add in the eggs, cake batter flavoring, and a few drops of pink food coloring to the butter-sugar blend. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add this mix into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed.
- Scoop out portions of the dough, rolling each into a ball about three tablespoons in size and flatten slightly before placing on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes until they puff up and the centers lose their glossy appearance.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- In a mixing bowl, whip together softened butter, cream cheese, and vanilla until smooth.
- Gradually mix in powdered sugar and a splash of milk or heavy cream to reach a spreadable consistency.
- Frost cooled cookies with the cream cheese frosting and sprinkle with Christmas sprinkles before serving.
