Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Put flour in a bowl and make a well in center. Beat together butter and sugar in another bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, then beat in egg and vanilla until blended.
• Add butter mixture to flour and rub it into flour with your fingertips just until dough comes together in a ball (do not overwork dough, or it will be tough). 3Halve dough and work with 1 half at a time. Roll out dough 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. Cut out cookies with a floured cutter (we used a 2 1/2-inch fluted round cutter), arranging cookies, as cut, 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Reroll scraps once, using as little flour as possible, and cut out more cookies.
• Bake cookies, 1 sheet at a time, in middle of oven until very pale golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on baking sheet 1 minute, then transfer to a rack to cool 5 minutes if serving warm, or to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Line the bottom of a 9-in. springform pan with parchment. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg, egg yolk and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in chips. Press onto the bottom of prepared pan. , Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack 10 minutes. Loosen sides from pan with a knife; cool completely. Remove rim from pan. Carefully remove cookie cake from bottom pan; transfer to serving platter., In a large bowl, beat butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough milk to reach piping consistency. If desired, beat in food coloring. Pipe around edge of cookie cake. If desired, garnish with sprinkles.

Steps:

• For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl with an electric mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, beat together the butter and granulated sugar on medium-high until pale and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium and add the extracts and egg and mix to combine. Reduce the speed to low and then gradually add the dry ingredients and mix to combine. Pour the dough out onto a clean work surface and give it a few kneads to bring it all together. Divide it in half, wrap half of it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it while you roll out the first half. (Alternatively, you can make the dough in advance, wrap all of it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight.)
• Dust your work surface and a rolling pin with flour and roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out 5 increasing sizes of circles, 1 1/2 inches to 3 inches, and use a small offset spatula to transfer them to a baking sheet, 1-inch apart. Re-roll the scraps and repeat with the remaining half of the dough. Bake until the bottoms are lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the pans for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the frosting: In a large bowl with an electric mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the butter until soft and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix to combine. Mix in the extracts and salt. Add food coloring if desired.
• To assemble: Transfer the frosting to a piping bag. Stack up the circles, largest on the bottom, with a thin layer of frosting between them and decorate with sprinkles as desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time mixing well after each. Combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda; stir into the sugar mixture alternately with the milk. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Space cookies at least 3 inches apart.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until light brown. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks. When completely cool, frost with vanilla frosting and sprinkle with candy sprinkles.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• For the cookies beat the butter and sugar until creamed. Add in eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth.
• Combine dry ingredients.
• Add dry ingredients and milk into the creamed mixture in two batches.
• Refrigerate dough for up to an hour.
• Use 2 'tablespoons' (cereal spoons) to make 2-3 inch balls of dough. (After baking you want cookies that are about the size of the palm of your hand.).
• Bake for 10-12 minutes. The tops of the cookies shouldn't be browned.
• For the frosting beat all ingredients together until smooth adding more milk if necessary. When cookies are cool, frost and add sprinkles if you like.
