Rainbow Sprinkle Butter Cookies

If you remember my Birthday Cake Donuts post,
you'll know that I LOVE rainbow sprinkles.

And since this is birthday MONTH,
I thought it was only fitting
to do another rainbow sprinkle recipe!!!

So today, I share with you some oh so yummy
BUTTER RAINBOW SPRINKLE COOKIES!!!
The Goods:
All Purpose Flour
Sugar
Butter
Salt
Egg
Vanilla Extract
Rainbow Sprinkles


In a larger bowl, cream the butter, sugar, salt and vanilla.


Add the egg yolk and mix until incorporated.

Add the flour and mix until dough forms.

Shape into a long tube and cover in plastic wrap.

Keep in the fridge for at least 2 hours, if not longer.
You can even freeze, covered more securely, for a few months.

Let dough soften slightly, then slice thinly with a sharp knife.

Add rainbow sprinkles and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

Let cool (if possible) and then dig in!!! 
These may not look like they're anything special,
but man on man they sure taste amazing.
They're buttery and just melt in your mouth!!! 

But wait...

I only used and baked half the dough.
And saved the other half in the freezer,
then made those for a small NYE get together.
But this time COVERED the cookies in rainbow sprinkles!!!


They tasted the same, but I loved this look so much more!
