Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1 Egg (room temperature)
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tsp Almond Extract
  • 1 3/4 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Cream of Tartar
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Funfetti sprinkles
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 1/2 – 3 cups Powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp Heavy cream
  • Food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla, and almond extracts; mix well.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Gradually combine the dry mixture with the wet ingredients.
  3. Fold in the funfetti sprinkles until evenly distributed.
  4. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them two inches apart. Bake for about 8 minutes or until lightly golden at the edges while remaining soft in the center.
  5. Allow cookies to cool on a wire rack before preparing the frosting by beating together softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth.
  6. Once cooled, spread frosting between two cookies to create sandwiches.
