Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- In your stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until it is nice and fluffy.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and salt and mix to combine.
- With your mixer on the lowest setting, slowly begin to add the flour until it is well blended.
- Add the sprinkles and mix only until the sprinkles are incorporated into the dough.
- Turn out the dough onto a clean work surface and form it into a ball. Divide the ball into 2 equal pieces and then form each piece into a disk.
- Working with one disk at a time, place in between two pieces of parchment paper and using a rolling pin, roll out until it is 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the rolled out disks into the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes (the dough will be easier cut using cookie cutters if it is cold).
- Preheat oven to 325F.
- Remove dough from fridge and form into shapes using your cookie cutter. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. [Note: Dough scraps can be rerolled to make more cookies.]
- Bake for 10-15 minutes. Keep your eye on them to ensure they do not overcook. As soon as they begin to look "dry" on top and you see the edges turning slightly golden, remove them.
- Place cookies on a cooling rack and let cool completely.
