Step-by-Step Instructions for Christmas Pink Velvet Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs, cake batter flavoring, and pink food coloring until fully combined.
  4. Gradually add flour and baking powder, mixing gently until a soft dough forms.
  5. Shape dough into balls and flatten slightly on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
  6. Bake for 9-11 minutes until cookies puff and centers lose glossy look. Cool for a few minutes.
  7. Prepare frosting by whipping together butter, cream cheese, and vanilla until smooth.
  8. Sift in powdered sugar while mixing and adjust consistency with milk, aiming for a spreadable frosting.
  9. Frost cooled cookies using a piping bag, starting from the center and spiraling outward.
  10. Decorate with Christmas sprinkles for festive flair.
