Crumbl Birthday Cake Cookies
Ingredients
Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter If you use salted butter omit the 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoon cake batter flavoring
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
Cream Cheese Cookie Frosting
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 3 tablespoons butter softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon cake batter flavoring
Instructions
Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl combine butter and granulated sugar. Cream butter and sugar together with an electric mixture unil the butter is light and fluffy.
- After the butter and sugar are light and fluffy, add 2 large eggs and mix well.
- Add salt, vanilla extract, cake batter flavoring, baking powder, and flour to the butter mixture. Mix until the flour is well incorporated.
- Add 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles, and mix into batter.
- Portion the cookie dough into 12 dough balls with either a 1/4 cup measuring cup. You can use a scale to portion the dough by 75 grams. You will have a very small portion left over.
- Place the dough balls onto two parchment-lined baking sheets. Place six dough balls on each sheet. Press each dough ball gently with a glass to spread them out to just under 1/4 inch thickness.
- Bake cookies for 11 to 12 minutes, for a slightly underbaked texture. Add a minute or two if you want them more well done.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely before applying frosting.
Frosting
- Combine all the frosting ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and blend until smooth using an electric mixer.
- Place the frosting in a piping bag with a medium tip. Pipe the frosting onto cookies in a pinwheel pattern, starting from the center and working outward, and immediately top with sprinkles.
- Allow the frosting to sit for 30 minutes to stiffen before serving.
