  1. Preheat oven to 160°C/140°C fan-forced. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
  2. Using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Sift flour and cornflour over butter mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. Add 100s & 1000s, then stir until well combined.
  3. Roll level tablespoonfuls of dough into 32 balls. Place on trays 2cm apart. Using a fork dipped in flour, lightly flatten each biscuit until 1.5cm thick. Bake for 15 minutes or until light golden. Cool on trays for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. To make the frosting, use an electric mixer to beat butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add icing sugar, beating constantly, until well combined. Spread flat side of 1 cookie with frosting. Sandwich with another cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies and frosting. Place 100s & 1000s in a bowl. Press side of each cookie in 100s & 1000s to coat frosting. Serve.
