Steps:
- Make the cookies: Whisk the flour, confectioners' sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Beat in the vanilla, then beat in the sprinkles. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 325˚ F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough until 1/4 inch thick. (If the dough starts to crack, let it warm up for a few minutes before continuing.) Using a 2 1/2-inch fluted round cookie cutter, cut out cookies and arrange about 1 inch apart on one of the baking sheets. Gather the scraps, reroll and cut out more cookies.
- Bake until the cookies are lightly golden, about 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool 5 minutes on the pan, then remove to a rack to cool completely. Meanwhile, repeat with the remaining disk of dough.

FROSTED RAINBOW SPRINKLE COOKIES

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
- For the cookies: Combine the butter, granulated sugar, confectioners' sugar, baking powder, salt and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until a uniform, grainy paste forms, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape the bowl clean, add the egg yolk and beat on medium speed until combined, about 30 seconds. Add the sour cream and beat until fluffy, about 30 seconds.
- Whisk together the flour and cornstarch if using in a separate medium bowl. Add to the butter mixture all at once and mix on low speed until most of the flour is incorporated. Add the sprinkles and mix just until combined.
- Scoop 10 rounded 1-tablespoon portions of dough onto each sheet pan and roll into smooth balls. Flatten the dough balls so they're about 3/4-inch thick. Bake one sheet at a time until the cookies are light golden on the edges and set in the center, 15 to 17 minutes. Place the pans on wire racks and allow the cookies to cool completely on the pan.
- For the frosting: Place the chopped white chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 12-second increments, stirring after each, until completely melted, about 36 seconds. Set aside.
- Beat the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment until smooth and shiny, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape the bowl and paddle clean then add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, salt and water. Mix on low to combine, then raise to high speed and beat 1 minute. Scrape the bowl and paddle clean and add the warm melted chocolate to the bowl, mixing on low until combined. Raise the mixing speed to medium and beat until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Place the buttercream in a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and pipe a star or rosette onto the center of each cookie. Alternately, use a small spatula to spread a heaping tablespoon of buttercream onto each. Finish the cookies by sprinkling rainbow sprinkles over the buttercream. Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

ANY HOLIDAY SPRINKLE COOKIES
You can roll this cookie dough in any colored sugar to suit any holiday. I use red and green for Christmas, pastel colors for Easter and green for St. Patrick's Day. After rolling dough in sugar, the logs can be frozen for up to 2 months. Let logs thaw out slightly before slicing. They're easier to slice if very firm.-Lynn Merendino, Marysville, Pennsylvania

CHOCOLATE SPRINKLE THUMBPRINT COOKIES
Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt; set aside. Pour the chocolate sprinkles into a small bowl; set aside. 2. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream together the butter, powdered sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture. Once it is mostly incorporated, slowly increase the speed back to medium-high and beat for another minute or so until a dough forms. 3. Scoop out a tablespoon of dough, roll it into a ball, and then roll it in the chocolate sprinkles and place it on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing your cookies about 1½ inches apart on the baking sheet. Make a slight indentation with your thumb (or the back of a melon baller - my favorite tool for this task) on the tops of all the cookies. Bake for 10 minutes, then make a deeper indentation in the middle, and bake for an additional 8 minutes. The cookies should not brown much at all around the edges. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. 4. Meanwhile, make the chocolate icing for the filling. Beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 2 to 3 minutes, or until light and creamy. Reduce speed to low, add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder and mix until combined, then increase the speed to medium and beat until smooth. Add the milk and the vanilla extract and beat until light and fluffy. Add more powdered sugar or milk to achieve the desired consistency. 5. Once the cookies are cool, pipe some frosting into the middle of each cookie (or you can spoon it in). Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
