Ingredients
1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter, softened
1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar for dough
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/3 Cup Rainbow Sprinkles (Jimmies work best)
1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar for rolling
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add salt and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
3. Add one cup of flour to the creamed butter mixture and gently mix everything until just combined.
4. Add in sprinkles and gently fold until combined.
5. Gently knead the mixture using your hands and make a round dough ball.
6. Wrap it tightly in a plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about an hour or until it becomes firm.
7. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (350F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
8. Once the dough is chilled, divide it into small 1 inch round balls.
9. Place the shaped dough balls on the baking sheet spacing 2 inches apart.
10. Bake for 15 minutes at 180 degrees C (350F).
11. Let them cool for 3-5 minutes before rolling them in powdered sugar while still warm.
12. Allow them to cool completely, then roll them again in the powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Use room temperature butter for the best texture. Do not skip the chilling step, or the cookies will spread! For the best white coating, the double-roll technique is essential.
