Time 55m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup Greek yogurt
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups white whole wheat flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
⅔ cup sprinkles
½ cup butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon heavy cream, or as needed
½ cup sprinkles

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine sugar and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer; beat until light and fluffy. Beat in Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and baking soda; mix until combined. Fold in sprinkles.
  • Scoop out even amounts of dough using a cookie scoop and roll into balls. Arrange on the prepared baking sheets. Use your hand or a glass to flatten the balls.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges are lightly golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a cooking rack and repeat with remaining dough. Allow cookies to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  • Make frosting while the cookies are cooling. Beat butter until creamy; mix in confectioners' sugar. Stir in vanilla extract. Thin frosting with cream if needed.
  • Spread frosting over cookies using a knife. Cover with more sprinkles.
