Ingredients

  • 1 Cup 2 sticks butter (softened NOT melted)
  • 1/2 Cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 Cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 Cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • sprinkles

Instructions

  • Beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until it is very fluffy. I did it for about 3 minutes, but I found that the longer the better in this case.
  • Mix in the flour, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla until well combined. Then place in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
  • Roll them into Tablespoon size balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (cooking spray will make them spread too much) about one inch apart. *If the dough sticks to your hand you can dust them lightly with cornstarch.
  • Flatten lightly with the tines of a fork dipped in cornstarch. Add some sprinkles to the top of each cookie because sprinkles make everything better, right?! Bake in a 300 degree F oven for 12-14 minutes. Remove immediately from baking sheet and place on wire racks, waxed paper, or aluminum foil to cool.
