Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, slightly softened
• 3 tablespoons multi-colored sprinkles
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup white sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with plastic wrap (or cut parchment to fit) leaving a 1-inch overhang.

Step 2

Cream together butter, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well combined. Reduce speed to low and mix in flour and salt until well combined. Stir in sprinkles.

Step 3

Knead mixture 4 to 5 times in the bowl until dough forms a ball. Pat dough evenly into the prepared pan. Use overhang to lift dough from pan. Cut dough into 1/2-inch squares. Gently place squares 1/2 inch apart onto an ungreased baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake until bottoms just begin to brown, about 15 minutes.
