Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of a 9 x 13 sheet pan with parchment paper.
Beat the butter, cream cheese, and sugar together until light and fluffy and light in color.
Add in the eggs and vanilla, then beat well - for about another 2 minutes.
Mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking powder together in a separate bowl.
Add the flour mixture into the butter and mix until just combined and there are no streaks of flour.
Use a rubber spatula to fold in the sprinkles.
Place the cookie dough into your sheet pan and press down until it is an even layer.
Bake for about 25 minutes, or until it is just a light golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Make the frosting while the cookie is cooling.
Beat together the butter and cream cheese together until well combined.
Add in the powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla. Add in the lemon, if using.
Mix until well-combined.
Add in the heavy cream as needed until it reaches a smooth consistency.
Spread on top of the cookie, and cut into bars.
