Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream Butter & Sugar: In a small mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Stir in the birthday cake extract.
Add Dry Ingredients: Mix in the flour, baking powder, and baking soda until fully combined.
Fold in Sprinkles: Gently fold the sprinkles into the dough, distributing them evenly.
Shape the Cookie: Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and form it into a round shape. The dough will be slightly sticky, so use a spatula to help shape it.
Bake: Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Shape & Cool: Once out of the oven, take a small bowl and gently move it in a circular motion around the cookie to shape it into a perfect round. Let it cool before adding the icing.
Prepare the Icing: While the cookie cools, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk (or water) until smooth.
Decorate: Drizzle the icing over the cooled cookie and top with extra sprinkles for that perfect birthday party look!
