Sift together the salt and flour, then set aside.

In the bowl of a stand up mixer, beat together the butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-low speed for 2 to 3 minutes.

Add in the flour, bring down the speed of the mixer on low, and beat just until the butter is mixed into the flour. Don’t over mix or the cookies will be tough.

Mix in the sprinkles until just combined. You do not want to over mix with the sprinkles either or the color might bleed into the dough.

Separate the dough into 2 balls. Form each ball into a log that is approximately 7-8 inches long.  Wrap with plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and place the rack in the center of the oven. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Remove the logs from the freezer and cut each one into approximately 1/4 inch thick slices. Then place the cookies on the baking sheets.

Bake the cookies for 10-15 minutes until the edges of the cookies are slightly browned.

Let the cookies cool for 20 minutes, then gently transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Then the cookies are ready to serve and enjoy!
