Ingredients

Cookie Dough:

½ cup salted butter softened
¾ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup white granulated sugar
1 large egg
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup jimmies sprinkles

Frosting Ingredients:

¼ cup salted butter softened
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
1-2 TBSP milk
½ tsp vanilla
¼ tsp almond extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a large mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer on high speed. Once the butter and sugars are smooth and creamy, whisk in the egg until fully incorporated.
Slowly whisk in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sprinkles until no dry pockets remain in your cookie dough.
Use a standard size cookie scoop to drop balls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly to create thick discs and bake your cookies for 12 minutes. Let your cookies cool on the counter for 30 minutes and prepare your frosting.
Whisk together the softened butter, powdered sugar, milk, and extracts until smooth and creamy. Use a piping bag or spatula to spread frosting over the bottom of half your cookies. Top with the remaining cookies to create your cookie sandwiches. Enjoy!

Notes

You can store your cookies on the counter for up to 5 days in an airtight container. You can store them in the fridge too, but we felt they dried out about a day faster that way. These cookies are great served chilled or at room temperature.
