Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients including the all purpose flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Whisk them together until they are combined then, set aside.
- In a large bowl of a stand mixer cream together the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until the mixture is a smooth texture.
- Add the flour mixture a little at a time and then mix on low speed until the flour is fully combined with the butter mixture. Repeat until all of the flour mixture has been added.
- Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, put little balls of dough onto the parchment lined baking sheet, making sure to leave about an inch between cookies. Press down gently on each ball of cookie dough with either a cup, the bottom of a small bowl, or the palm of your hand to flatten them slightly.
- Bake the cookies for 15 to 20 minutes or until the tops and edges are a light golden brown color. Transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool.
- Using the back of a spoon or a knife, add the white frosting to half of each of the cookies then press the cookie down into a bowl of the rainbow sprinkles to coat the frosting in the sprinkles to create your audience.
- Frost the other half of the cookie with the green cookie icing to make the field. Let the green icing set for 10 minutes to allow it to harden.
- With the yellow cookie icing make a goal post in the center of the green portion of the cookie. Allow the icing to harden then serve.
Notes
- Make sure the green icing is set before you add the yellow field goal or the two will just muddle together, not looking like the perfect football stadium you want.
- Switch up the sprinkles in the stadium with your team colors if you want these to be personalized to your team. Like for me, I’d do a combination of red and yellow sprinkles instead of rainbow for the Chiefs!
- Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week. If you want to freeze, you can freeze these by putting them in a zipper top freezer-safe storage bag.
- Ingredient Notes:
- White frosting – you can use any white frosting or white icing you want whether it’s vanilla frosting, whipped cream frosting, or cream cheese frosting.
- Rainbow sprinkles – you want to go for the little rainbow circle sprinkles (called nonpareils), not the longer (jimmies).
- Cookie icing – you can either use a homemade sugar cookie icing and just use some food coloring to color it or use store-bought cookie icing that comes colored.
- Sugar cookies - you can either make your own cookies or just buy store-bought sugar cookies to decorate, sugar cookie mix, or sugar cookie dough.
