  • 1½ tbsp (25 g) light brown sugar
  • ¾ cup (90 g) cake flour
  • ½ tsp (2 g) baking powder
  • ½ tsp (2 g) salt
  • 2 tbsp (20 g) rainbow sprinkles
  • ¼ cup (40 g) vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp (12 g) vanilla extract
For the cookies
  • 32 tbsp (450 g) butter, room temperature
  • 3 cups (600 g) sugar
  • 2 tbsp (50 g) corn syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tsp (16 g) vanilla extract
  • 5 cups (800 g) flour
  • 1⅓ cup (100 g) milk powder
  • 4 tsp (18 g) cream of tartar
  • 2 tsp (12 g) baking soda
  • 2½ tsp (10 g) kosher salt
  • ½ cup (80 g) rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
  1. To make the birthday crumbs, heat the oven to 300F/150C.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the sugar, brown sugar, cake flour, baking powder, salt, and rainbow sprinkles on low speed until well combined.
  3. Add in the oil and vanilla and mix again to distribute. Mix until the mixture forms small clusters. Spread the clusters on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, breaking up them halfway through.
  4. Let cool completely before using.
  5. To make the cookies, combine the butter, sugar, and corn syrup in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream together until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes on medium-high speed. Scrape down the bowl and mix in the eggs and vanilla. Beat for 7-8 minutes.
  6. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add in the flour, milk powder, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and sprinkles. Mix until dough just comes together. Scrape down the bowl. On low speed add in the birthday cake crumbs and mix for 30 seconds.
  7. Using a ⅓-cup measure, portion out the cookie dough on a parchment-lined baking pan. Pat the cookie dough balls so that they are flat on top. Wrap the baking sheet in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight.
  8. Heat oven to 350F/180C.
  9. Arrange the chilled cookie dough balls 4 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 18 minutes. They should be lightly browned around the edges. Cool completely on the sheet pans before transferring to a plate or container.
