Increase the speed to medium and mix till the batter is thick and creamy, about 2 min. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle.
- Lightly flour a flat surface. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thick. Cut the dough into the desired shapes. Line a baking sheet with parchment or possibly waxed paper. Place the cookies on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake till lightly golden brown, about 20 min. Remove the cookies from the oven and let cold completely in the pan. Remove the cookies from the pan using a spatula. Repeat the process till all the dough is used. Frost each cookie and garnish with sprinkles.
- For the Buttercrean Frosting: In a large mixing bowl, with an electric mixer, cream the cheese and butter. Add in the sugar, 1/2 c. at a time, mixing after each addition. Add in the vanilla and lowfat milk and mix well. Add in a couple of drops of food coloring and mix well. (Yields about 1 1/2 to 2 c. frosting)
