Preheat the oven to 350F then line a baking sheet with parchement paper and set it aside.
Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
1/2 cup butter, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 3 tbsp powdered sugar
Whisk in the egg, vanilla bean paste, and vanilla extract and until combined.
1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla bean paste, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix in the flour, baking powder, and salt until the flour mixture disappears. Don't overmix your dough. Then using a large cookie scooper scoop out 6 equally sized cookie dough balls, place them on the prepared baking sheet, and gently flatten them to about 3/4 inch in thickness.
1 & 1/2 cup all purpose flour, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking powder
Bake the cookies in the oven for 11 minutes, then let them cool down on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool down fully.

In a stand mixer bowl or a large bowl, cream the butter and cream cheese together until smooth and fluffy.
4 oz cream cheese, 3 tbsp butter
Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and vanilla extract, and whip for 3-5 minutes or until fluffy. If the frosting seems soft, chill it in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes then whip again.
1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste
Place the frosting in a piping bag with a large round piping tip or in a ziplock bag with the tip cut off and frost each cooled-down cookie. Top with sprinkles and enjoy!
2 tbsp white sprinkles
