• Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the flour, baking soda, salt, and mix on low speed until just incorporated, about 1 minute; don't overmix.
• Using a two-tablespoon cookie scoop form approximately 22 equal-sized mounds of dough.
• Place mounds on a large plate or tray, cover with plasticwrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, up to 5 days. Do not bake with unchilled dough because cookies will bake thinner, flatter, and be more prone to spreading.
• Preheat oven to 350F, line a baking sheet with a Silpat or spray with cooking spray.
• Place dough mounds on baking sheet, spaced at least 2 inches apart (I bake 8 cookies per sheet) and bake for about 8 to 11 minutes, or until edges have set and tops are just set, even if slightly undercooked, pale, and glossy in the center; don't overbake. Cookies firm up as they cool. I let them cool on the baking sheet and don't use a rack while making the frosting.
• To a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter.
• Add the remaining ingredients (except the sprikles) and whisk aggressively until smooth and combined.
• Frost the cookies using as much frosting as desired and optionally add the sprinkles.
