Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup holiday sprinkles
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the flour, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla extract, and mix on low until just combined, then increase speed and whip for 1 minute until smooth.
- Gently fold in the holiday sprinkles until evenly distributed.
- Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets, or pipe using a star tip for a decorative look.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
