Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • Pink gel food coloring
  • For the Filling:
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
  • Pink gel food coloring (optional)
  • Optional Toppings:
  • Sprinkles (pastel nonpareils)
  • Edible glitter
  • Crushed freeze-dried strawberries

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 ¾ cups sifted all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter with 1 ½ cups granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Scrape bowl halfway through.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon almond extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons whole milk and a few drops of pink gel food coloring. Mix until color is evenly blended.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture on low speed. Mix until just combined. Chill dough for 15 minutes if sticky.
  6. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to ¼ inch thickness. Cut shapes with cookie cutters and place 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets.
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Rotate trays halfway through baking.
  8. Transfer cookies to wire racks and cool completely before filling.
  9. Beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually add 3 cups sifted powdered sugar, mixing on low.
  10. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk. Beat on high until fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add pink gel coloring if desired.
  11. Spread or pipe filling onto bottom side of one cookie, sandwich with another, and press gently to spread filling evenly. Add sprinkles or crushed freeze-dried strawberries to edges if desired.
  12. Arrange cookie sandwiches on a large platter or board with optional decorations.

Notes

Do not overmix after adding flour to avoid tough cookies. Use softened but not melted butter. Gel food coloring is preferred to maintain dough texture. Chill dough if sticky. Pull cookies from oven when edges are lightly golden and centers still soft. Whip filling well for best texture. Cookies can be baked up to 3 days ahead and stored airtight at room temperature. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze.
