1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 10" tart pan with non-stick baking spray, and set aside. With a hand or stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until creamy and fluffy. Add the egg and yolk, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flower, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stopping the mixer to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Dough will be thick and slightly stiff. Fold in the sprinkles and M&M's® Red, White, & Blue Milk Chocolate candies to the dough. Mix until just combined.
3. Evenly press the dough into the prepared tart pan. Bake at 350 for 26-30 minutes until light golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely before frosting and decorating.
4. For the frosting: With a hand or stand mixer, cream together the butter and vanilla. Gradually add in the powered sugar, one cup at a time, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
5. Gradually add in milk 1 Tbsp at a time. Frosting should be a thick consistency. Pipe on the frosting. Decorate the frosting and cookie with additional sprinkles and M&M's® Red, White, & Blue Milk Chocolate candies.
