In a large bowl, with a hand mixer, beat the butter until creamy.
1 cup unsalted butter
Add the powdered sugar and beat again until fully mixed and very creamy.
½ cup powdered sugar
Add the vanilla, cornstarch, and flour. Starting on low speed, so dry ingredients don’t spray out, beat until mixed and a soft but not sticky dough has formed.
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, ¼ cup cornstarch, 1½ cups all-purpose flour
Take 1½-2 tablespoon of dough and roll into balls. Roll in sprinkles until completely covered.
¾ cup sprinkles
Place on baking pan approximately 2 inches apart. Press down slightly with palm of hand.
Bake 10-12 min. Until lightly golden brown on bottom.
Wait 5 min then place on cooling rack to cool.
Notes
This recipe yields 2 dozen cookies, and it doubles to easily if you want to make even more!
While I usually find myself making these cookies in the springtime, you can swap out the sprinkles for any other festive ones and make them any time of year.
I use unsalted butter in this recipe, as I prefer to not have a salty taste along with the sweetness. However, salted butter also works if you'd prefer.
Storage: Store sprinkle cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
