Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ to 1 cup holiday sprinkles (jimmies or nonpareils work best)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized balls and roll each in holiday sprinkles to fully coat.
Place on prepared baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are set and bottoms are lightly golden.
Cool on baking sheet for 2–3 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to finish cooling.
