Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Butter softened
  • 1/2 cup Cream Cheese softened
  • 1 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Red White and Green Round Sprinkles (nonpareils)

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt until well combined.  Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese with a hand held mixer or stand up mixer until light and fluffy (approximately 3-5 minutes).
  • Add in the sugar, eggs and vanilla extract.  Mix until combined.
  • Reduce the mixer speed until low.  Then gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  • Cover the dough and refrigerate it for 1-2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place the sprinkles in a shallow bowl.  Spoon the dough into approximately 1 tablespoon size balls and roll the balls in the sprinkles until they are completely covered.
  • Then place on a baking sheet approximately 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 9-12 minutes until the cookies are set but not browned.  Remove from the oven and let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes.
  • Move the cookies from the baking sheets to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Then the cookies are ready to serve and enjoy!

Notes

Store the leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. 
Keep a piece of bread in the container with the cookies to keep them soft.
