Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

To assemble:

  • Vanilla Buttercream
  • Nutella
  • Sugar Cookie Glaze
  • Sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Cream butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the eggs, vanilla, and almond extract, mix well.
  • Add flour. baking powder, and salt and mix until the dough comes together into a ball.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 4 hours or overnight.
  • Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface and cut circles with 3-inch cookie cutters. Then cut out the center with a 1/2" to 3/4" inch circle cutter.
  • Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • I found it was easiest to put buttercream, Nutella, and cookie glaze in piping bags. Pipe a ring of frosting or Nutella on the bottom of a cooke, then top with another cookie. Pipe cookie glaze over in a squiggle and sprinkle with sprinkles.
