Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 0.5 cup of light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, followed by 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon baking soda, and 0.5 teaspoon salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with 0.25 cup of heavy cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake—the cookies should remain soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the frosting, beat 0.5 cup of unsalted butter until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of milk, beating until the frosting is smooth and fluffy. If desired, incorporate food coloring to match your theme.
Once the cookies are completely cool, spread or pipe a layer of frosting on each cookie.
Top with sprinkles, if desired, and let the frosting set for at least 20 minutes before serving.
