Colorful layers of fluffy pancakes paired with soft, chewy cookie sandwiches filled with cream cheese frosting, perfect for kids’ parties or a fun breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • Food coloring gel (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple)
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened (can swap with vegan cream cheese)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: rainbow sprinkles for extra fun inside or on edges

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Rest batter for 5 minutes.
  4. Divide batter evenly into six small bowls and add a drop of each food coloring gel to each bowl. Stir until color is blended.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease.
  6. Pour about 2 tablespoons of colored batter onto the pan. Use a 2.5-inch cookie cutter to shape pancakes if available.
  7. Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook 1-2 more minutes until golden. Transfer to cooling rack.
  8. Repeat with all colors, adjusting heat as needed.
  9. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Fold in rainbow sprinkles if desired.
  10. Match pancakes by size and color pairs. Spread about 1 tablespoon of filling on one pancake and top with its partner. Press gently.
  11. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Notes

If batter is too thick after coloring, add a splash of milk to loosen. Use medium heat to avoid burning pancakes. Let batter rest 5 minutes for fluffier pancakes. Use softened cream cheese for smooth filling. Store sandwiches in airtight container in fridge up to 2 days. Reheat gently in oven or toaster oven.
