Equipment

  • oven
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Stand Mixer
  • baking sheets

Ingredients
  

For the Cookies

  • 1.5 cups salted butter softened
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 0.25 cup canola oil
  • 4.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 cup colorful sprinkles jimmies recommended

For the Frosting

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 0.75 cup salted butter room temperature
  • 4.5 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cake batter flavoring
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream as needed
  • Whipped cream optional for serving

Instructions
 

Make the Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats.
  • In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream butter and granulated sugar for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs, vanilla, and canola oil. Mix until just combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk flour and baking powder together, then gradually add to wet mixture on low speed. Mix until no streaks of flour remain.
  • Scoop dough into 3-tablespoon portions, roll into balls, and flatten slightly. Roll the edges in colorful sprinkles.
  • Arrange on prepared sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9–11 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers appear set but soft.
  • Cool completely on the pan before moving or frosting.

Make the Frosting

  • Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave in 15–30 second bursts, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter until pale and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with small splashes of heavy cream.
  • Add cake batter flavoring, then slowly mix in the melted white chocolate until smooth and creamy.
  • Adjust consistency with extra cream (to thin) or powdered sugar (to thicken).

Notes

Use jimmie sprinkles (not nonpareils) to prevent color bleeding. Don’t overbake — cookies should look slightly underdone in the center. Chill frosted cookies before serving for the perfect texture. Cake batter extract gives that signature 'milkshake' flavor. Store frosted cookies in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze unfrosted up to 2 months.
