Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • Gel food coloring (various colors)
  • 8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp heavy cream
  • Optional sprinkles or edible glitter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a mixer bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mix, mixing on low speed just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Divide the dough evenly into small bowls—one for each color you want to make. Add gel food coloring to each bowl and mix until vibrant.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of each colored dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the colors together without overmixing.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
  9. Remove cookies from oven and cool completely on wire racks.
  10. Prepare the filling by beating softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream until spreadable. Optionally add a pinch of vanilla.
  11. Once cookies are cooled, spread or pipe filling on the flat side of one cookie and sandwich with another. Roll edges in sprinkles or edible glitter if desired.
  12. Chill the assembled sandwiches for 20-30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use gel food coloring for vibrant colors without watery dough. Chill dough if cookies spread too much. Cool cookies completely before filling to prevent melting. Swirl colors lightly to maintain contrast. Overbaking leads to dry cookies that don’t sandwich well.
