Preheat your oven to 350F
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar until pale and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, and then add the vanilla extract - beat until well mixed.
Alternate adding flour and milk until all gone (begin and end with flour)
Fold in the 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 milk and 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 butter and sugar until pale and creamy.
Add the flour mixture and the vanilla 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 nonpareils (sprinkles).
Devour.
