Preheat your oven to 350°F
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together

2 teaspoons baking powder
, and
1/2 teaspoon salt
.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream
1/2 cup butter

until pale and creamy.
Add the
2 large eggs
one at a time, and then add
1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- beat until well mixed.
Alternate adding flour mixture and
2/3 cup milk
until all gone (begin and end with flour mixture)
Fold in the
1 tablespoon rainbow nonpareils
.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto parchment lined cookie sheets. Don’t flatten them!
Bake 10-12 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched.
Cool on a wire rack.
Frosting
In a saucepan, whisk together the
6 tablespoons milk
and
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
. Mix until smooth.
Cook, whisking constantly until the mixture JUST comes to a boil.
Remove from heat and allow to cool.
In the stand mixer, cream the
1/2 cup butter
and
1/2 cup white sugar
until pale and creamy.
Add the flour mixture and the
1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
and beat until fluffy and creamy.
Use a small cookie scoop, and spread about 2 tablespoons frosting onto bottom of 1 cookie; top with another cookie, bottom-side down.
Press together until they hold, and a little of the frosting squishes out.
Sprinkle the edges with extra
2 tablespoons rainbow nonpareils
(sprinkles).
Devour.
