Instructions
TO PREPARE COOKIES:
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In medium dish combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a large dish beat butter and sugar, with an electric mixer, using medium speed, until light and fluffy, for about 2 minutes.
- Add an egg and vanilla and beat until well combined. Add dry ingredients and beat until you get the dough. It will be crumbly. Stir in the sprinkles.
- Knead the dough and shape into a ball. Put some flour on the surface and roll the dough until ¼ inch thick.
- Cut it with cookie cutter and place in the baking sheets. Bake for 8-9 minutes.

TO PREPARE VANILLA BUTTERCREAM FROSTING:
- Beat the butter with an electric mixer, at medium speed, for about 1.5 - 2 minutes.
- Add powdered sugar - ⅔ cup at a time. Add vanilla and heavy whipping cream and beat until well combined.
- Add pink or red food color, one drop at a time, until you get shades of green. I used 3-4 drops of red.
- Decorate the cookies with butter cream frosting and sprinkles.
Notes
Store them in a well sealed air fresh container, at a room temperature, for a couple of days. Make sure there is only one layer of cookies in the container.
