Instructions

Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F
2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars using an electric mixer, for 2 minutes, or until smooth.
3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla extract.
4. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add this to the mix on lower speed, then increase to medium speed, until fully combined.
5. Wrap the mixture in cling wrap, and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
6. Divide the mixture into 9 equal balls, and flatten to about the size of your palm. Take the sprinkles and place them in a small bowl. Press both sides of the cookie into the sprinkles.
7. Bake on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, for approximately 14 minutes, or until edges are browning. Let stand for 5 minutes before transferring them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Buttercream

1. Cream the butter using an electric mixer for 4-5 minutes using a paddle attachment. This should lighten both the texture and the color of the butter to a pale yellow.
2. Sift the sugar, and then add it to the butter one cup at a time. Beat on medium for a minute, before adding the vanilla.
3. Add food colours are desired, and then stack that cookie!
