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

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 3

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

Step 4

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