Cookies
- In a stand mixer with a beater attachment, beat together the butter and sugar on high speed for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla to the butter mixture and beat on low speed until combined.
- Add the flour, salt, and baking powder and beat until all ingredients are combined in a smooth dough.
- Form the dough into a disk and wrap with plastic wrap. Place in the fridge to cool for 1-2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- When the dough is done chilling, roll it out into a ½-inch thick sheet. Cut out cookie shapes using cookie cutters of your choice.
- Place the cookies on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before decorating with icing.
Frosting
- In a medium bowl, add the powdered sugar and milk and mix until combined in an icing.
- In a ramekin, add the pink color packet to the vodka and mix until combined.
- Pipe the white frosting onto the cookies. Allow the frosting to dry completely (5-10 minutes) before painting the cookies with the pink watercolor.
- Use a paintbrush to paint the pink watercolor onto the cookies as desired. Top the cookies with nonpareil sprinkles while the watercolor is still wet.
