Ingredients:

For the Cookies:

• 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/4 cups (250g) granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract

• 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar
• 2–3 tbsp milk (adjust for consistency)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla or almond extract
• Gel food coloring (optional – for a light pastel color)

6. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles.

7. Scoop dough into balls (about 2 tbsp each) and gently flatten them slightly on the baking sheet.

8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Do not overbake for a soft texture.

9. Let cookies cool completely.

2. Make the Frosting:

1. In a medium bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Adjust with more milk or sugar for desired consistency.

2. Tint with a drop or two of gel food coloring if desired.
