Ingredients

Butter – salted butter adds just the right amount of salt to this recipe.

Powdered sugar

All-purpose flour

Cornstarch

Sprinkles

6 tablespoons butter softened

3 tablespoons powdered sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions

In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand-held electric mixer to beat the butter and powdered sugar for at least 4 minutes.

Mix in the flour and cornstarch just until combined. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, and chill the dough for 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Preheat the oven to 300F.

Cut the ball of dough into 8 pieces and roll each into a ball. With a fork dipped in cornstarch (to prevent the dough from sticking to the dough), press on the top of each cookie dough ball then top with sprinkles.

Place the cookies on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the cookies at 300F for 18-19 minutes, just until the cookies are set and light golden brown on the bottom. Cool the cookies on the cookie sheet, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
