Instructions

Scoop dough using a small cookie scoop, roll into balls, then coat each in remaining sprinkles.
Place dough balls on baking sheets and bake 10–12 minutes. Let cool completely.
For the frosting, beat softened butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar, cream, vanilla, and food coloring. Beat until fluffy and holds a peak.
