Preparation

Step 1

For the cookie -

1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add in the egg and vanilla and mix until smooth.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Slowly add the dry ingredients to wet. Fold in the sprinkles.

3. Roll the dough and chill for at least 30 minutes. If you chill the dough for over 2 hours or overnight, let the dough sit out for 30 minutes before baking.

4. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or Silpats. Bake for 8 minutes and allow the cookies to cool on the pan.

For the buttercream filling -

1. Cream butter in a medium bowl until smooth. Slowly add in powdered sugar. Add cream or milk until you reach desired consistency. Add vanilla and salt and cream until smooth and fluffy. If filling is too thin, add more powdered sugar. If filling is too thick, add more cream or milk.

For the sandwich -

1. Place a COMPLETELY cooled cookie upside down. Pipe or spread buttercream filling onto the wrong side of the cookie. Place another cookie on top right side up.
