- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this mix aside.
- In another large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
- Divide the dough into two bowls. Add blue food coloring in one bowl and pink in the other, mixing until desired shades are achieved.
Baking
- Roll the colored doughs into small balls and flatten them slightly on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for spreading.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Filling and Decorating
- Once cooled, create a small hole in half of the cookies and fill with either pink or blue frosting, then sandwich with another cookie.
- Mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth, drizzle over the cookies, and top with sprinkles if desired.

Notes
Ensure cookie dough is chilled before rolling out for better shape retention. Consider using royal icing for decoration and experiment with cookie shapes. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
