What You'll Need

1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Blue and pink sprinkles for decoration

What to Do

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Coat two baking sheets with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt.
In a medium bowl with an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar 4 to 5 minutes or until very fluffy, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl. Add milk and vanilla and beat 1 minute. Gradually sift in flour mixture and fold gently with spatula until just combined.
Spoon mixture into a piping bag fitted with large open star tip. Pipe batter into 1-1/2-inch wide circles, 1-inch apart on baking sheets.
Bake 15 to 16 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Let cool 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Top with blue and pink sprinkles to decorate.
