Servings 40 Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Butter, softened
- 3/4 cup White Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 3 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 cups White Candy Melts or White Almond Bark
- 1/3 cup Christmas Sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking sheets.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in vanilla extract and then slowly beat in the flour until just incorporated.
- Fold the dough out onto a floured surface. Place a piece of parchment paper over the dough and roll out until 1/4" thickness.
- Use a round cookie cutter and cut out 40 cookies, re-rolling the dough as needed.
- Place the cut cookies on the prepared baking sheets, about 1" apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool as you melt the white candy melts.
- Melt candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl for 25 seconds. Stir and reheat as needed.
- Dip each cookie individually in the melted candy melts, covering up to one half of each cookie.
- Place cookie back on the cookie sheets and decorate with Christmas sprinkles as desired.
- Allow candy melts to set before storing or serving.
