Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup festive red and green sprinkles (Funfetti-style)
- 1/4 cup mini white chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
-
Cream Butter and Sugar:
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
-
Prepare the Dough:
- Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until the dough comes together. Fold in the festive sprinkles and mini white chocolate chips (if using).
-
Chill the Dough:
- Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
-
Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Shape the Cookies:
- Once chilled, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 1 inch apart.
-
Bake the Cookies:
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden while keeping the tops pale. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
-
Coat with Powdered Sugar:
- When the cookies are completely cool, roll each one in powdered sugar until coated. For an extra snowy touch, give them a second roll before serving.
Notes
- These cookies store well in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- You can make these ahead of time and freeze the dough for up to 3 months.
