Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.

- Add the egg and vanilla. Mix until light in color and creamy.

- Portion out the dough into 1/2 cup portions. Roll into a ball and arrange 6 onto each cookie sheet. Press down slightly on the cookie dough, flattening it into what looks like a hockey puck.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cookies are no longer glossy on the top.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 20 minutes before frosting.
- While the cookies are cooling, make the frosting by whipping the butter and cake batter flavoring until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time. Add a splash of milk as needed to combine the powdered sugar with the butter.
- Repeat until all of the powdered sugar has been added and you've reached your desired consistency. (If the frosting is too thick, add another tsp or so of milk)
- Place the buttercream in a piping bag fit with a large round piping tip. You can alternately place the buttercream in a gallon sized tiptop bag and snip the corner an pipe from the baggie, if needed.
- Pipe the frosting onto each cookie in a spiral starting in the center of the cookie, workin your way out.
- Add rainbow sprinkles to the top, for garnish.
- Serve warm. Store in and air tight container either in the fridge or on the counter.
