Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 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

  1. Preheat the oven to 300F degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment paper or baking mats.
  2. In a large bowl beat the butter and powdered sugar until very fluffy and aerated (at least 5 minutes.
  3. Mix in the flour, cornstarch, salt and vanilla extract.
  4. Dust your hands with cornstarch, then form the dough into balls about 2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon in size.
  5. Place on the lined cookie sheets and press down the top of each cookie with the tines of a fork dipped in cornstarch (this prevents sticking). Add a few sprinkles to the top of each cookie.
