Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a stand mixer, combine room temperature salted butter and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for about 5 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  2. Blend in the pure vanilla extract and the egg until just combined. Mix on low, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
  3. Gradually add in the corn starch, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and all-purpose flour while the mixer is on low. Mix until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in your choice of sprinkles using a spatula until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
  5. Scoop cookie dough onto a lined baking sheet using a cookie scoop, ensuring each mound is about 2.5 tablespoons. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) towards the end of your chilling time.
  7. Once chilled, take the dough balls out and space them 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets.
  8. Bake your Christmas Sprinkle Sugar Cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes.
  9. If desired, reshape the cookies immediately after removing them from the oven for a polished finish.
  10. Allow your cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
