Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup red and green sprinkles

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Make the Dough:
   • In a large mixing bowl, use a stand or hand mixer to cream together the butter and sugar for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
   • Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
   • Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until just incorporated. The dough will be sticky.
3. Roll the Cookies:
   • Pour the red and green sprinkles into a shallow bowl or pie plate.
   • Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll the dough ball in the sprinkles until fully coated.
   • Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each, as they will spread during baking.
4. Bake:
   • Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are just slightly golden.
   • Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet to ensure they set properly.
5. Serve and Store:
   • Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
