Cookies
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 6 egg whites
- 2 teaspoons princess cake emulsion
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sequin sprinkles
Frosting
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 6 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk or heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pink food coloring
- Sequin sprinkles, for decorating
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add the egg whites, vanilla, and princess cake emulsion. Mix until fully combined, scraping the bowl often.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed just until combined.
- Gently fold in the sequin sprinkles.
- Using an ice cream scoop, place rounded scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between cookies.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, just until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheets before frosting.
- In a clean stand mixer bowl, combine the butter and cream cheese. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
- Add half of the powdered sugar along with the vanilla and milk. Mix on low speed until combined.
- Add the remaining powdered sugar and mix on low until incorporated. Increase speed to medium and beat until smooth and fluffy, scraping the sides as needed.
- Add pink food coloring until desired color is reached.
- Transfer frosting to a piping bag and cut a small opening at the tip.
- Pipe frosting in a spiral over the top of each cooled cookie.
- Immediately top with sequin sprinkles.
Notes
- Do not overbake — cookies should look soft when removed from the oven.
- Cookies must be completely cool before frosting or the frosting will slide.
- For best results, use sequin sprinkles to prevent color bleeding.
