Polvorones

  • 1

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Rainbow sprinkles

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Using a potato masher, combine the butter into the flour mixture until no big pieces of butter are visible. Continue to work the dough with your hands until the dough forms a ball. Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350F. Roll out the dough, between two sheets of plastic wrap, to 1/4-inch thickness.

Peel off the top layer of plastic wrap and cut out cookies with a 3-inch cookie cutter. (You can use any shape cookie cutter you want.
Spoon desired amount of sprinkles on top of cookies. (We believe that you can never have too many sprinkles!)

Gently press down on the sprinkles so that they stick to the cookie.

Carefully transfer the cookies to an ungreased baking sheet, placing the cookies about 1 to 2-inches apart. Bake at 350F for 15 to 17 minutes, rotating the cookie sheet once, after 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool for about 2 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
