- Bake 8-10 min or until cookies are set, cool completely.
- Spread or pipe frosting onto bottom of 1 cookie, top with another, bottom side down.
- Roll edges of frosting in polka dot sprinkles if desired.
- Decorate with a candle, additional sprinkles, or leave plain.
- Celebrate and eat!
Recipe Notes
Recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for more cookies for larger celebrations. Chill dough in refrigerator between batches to avoid very flat cookies.

Birthday cake flavored goodies are so yummy! Thank you for sharing this simple recipe 😀
Happy birthday to the not so little one, these sound awesome!
Made the edits as best i could, looks different on my mac vs. my phone...not everything is transferring 🤷🏻♀️
Note, recipe makes 10 sandwich cookies, times did not transfer from original recipe created on web, questions? Please ask :-)
Hi, Rebecca! To add times, you need to type it in the format that is displayed in the placeholder. Let me know if you need help.
I did, i had everything perfect when i saved and scheduled it last night 🤷🏻♀️ so i’m wondering if something happened in the meantime ? I will dbl check on my laptop, as i updated my phone last night, might just be a bug?
