Funfetti Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large stand mixer cream together butter and granulated sugar for 2 minutes on medium speed. Add in eggs and vanilla and mix until well blended. In a separate bowl whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt then slowly add to the wet ingredients. Blend until the flour is halfway incorporated. You don't want to over-mix the dough.

   Add in the sprinkles and finish mixing until the flour is just incorporated. Using a large cookie scoop* or 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop dough and evenly space out 6 onto a large baking sheet. 

   Bake for 12-14 minutes or until lightly golden brown on the bottom. Cool slightly before frosting.

White Chocolate Frosting

1. In a large stand mixer cream butter and 1 cup of powdered sugar together for 1 minute. In a microwave, melt together white chocolate and milk together for 30 seconds at a time until melted. About 1 minute total. Stop and stir it every 10 seconds as to not over heat it. Add this into the butter and mix until smooth. Add in vanilla. Sprinkle in the remaining powdered sugar and mix until smooth and creamy. If your frosting is too thick add 1 tablespoon of milk or cream at a time until it is spreadable. If your frosting is too thin you can add in a bit more powdered sugar.

   Spread each cookie with frosting and immediately sprinkle with sprinkle so they will stick to the frosting. Press one Mother's Circus Animal Cookie into the center of the frosting.
