Just pack some of the cookies on their sides and stack others flat to keep them from moving around.

Have extra sprinkles on hand for touch-ups, if needed.

Add eggs, and beat until just incorporated; beat in vanilla.

Stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.

Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating on low speed until just incorporated, about 1 minute.

Fold in either assorted red and green sprinkles or assorted blue and white sprinkles until evenly distributed throughout batter.

Cover and chill at least 1 hour or up to overnight.

Preheat oven to 325F.

Working in 2 batches, bake until cookies are lightly browned around edges, 8 to 10 minutes.

Transfer cookies to wire racks; cool completely, about 20 minutes.

If needed, beat in up to 1 teaspoon remaining milk to reach desired consistency.

Store Vanilla Buttercream in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.

Spread about 1 tablespoon Vanilla Buttercream onto the flat sides of 24 of the cookies.

Top with flat sides of remaining 24 cookies.

Store in an airtight container up to 1 week.
