For Cookies:

2 sticks (226 grams) unsalted butter softened
1 ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons (321 grams) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ¾ cup (330 grams) all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
1 cup sprinkles
extra sprinkles for coating

For Buttercream:

2 sticks (226 grams) unsalted butter softened
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups (454 grams) powdered sugar
heavy cream or milk as needed

Instructions

For Cookies:

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy
Add eggs and vanilla. Beat for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Fold in sprinkles. Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Scoop about 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons of cookie out and form into a ball. Place on prepared baking sheet about 3 inches apart.
Bake for 15-17 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on the cookie sheet.

For Buttercream:

Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter until very soft and creamy.
Add the salt, vanilla, and half of the powdered sugar and beat until fully combined.
Add the rest of the powdered sugar and beat for 5-6 minutes or until fluffy.
If the buttercream is too thick add heavy cream or milk, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.

Assembly:

Pair off your cooled cookies according to size.
Spoon or pipe a generous amount of buttercream onto the inside of one cookie and press the other cookie on top of it.
Roll the outside of the cookie in the extra sprinkles.
