Preparation

Step 1

In an electric mixer cream together the butter and sugar until just combined. Add the vanilla.

With the mixer on low add the flour to the butter mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

Pre-heat the oven to 350°F/180°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the beaten egg in a bowl and pour the sprinkles into another bowl. Roll round balls that weigh 1 ounce.

Roll the balls in the egg wash and then in the sprinkles and place on the baking sheet.

Make a light indentation in the middle with your finger. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the cookie turns lightly golden.

Place on a cooling rack and cool completely before piping a small swirl (using a star tip) into the indentation of each cookie. Store in an airtight container.
