  • 2/3 cup Brown Sugar (packed)
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 1/4 Cups All-Purpose Flour

Instructions

  1. To make the chocolate cookie dough, mix together the dry ingredients (including the cocoa powder) and set aside.
  2. Cream together the butter and white and brown sugar.
  3. Mix in the eggs and vanilla.
  4. Finally, add in the dry ingredients 1 cup at a time.
  5. Take a spoonful of cookie dough and roll it into a ball.  Slightly press down the cookie dough ball.
  6. Bake the cookies in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool.
  7. While the cookies are cooling, make a batch of our amazing The Best Buttercream Frosting.  We separated the frosting into three portions and then tinted the frosting green, pink, and purple using our Wilton Color Right Food Coloring.
  8. Once the cookies have cooled use a knife to frost them with the pink, green, and purple The Best Buttercream Frosting.
  9. Before the frosting had a chance to set, add the sprinkles.
