• 1 c unsalted butter, room temperature
• 2/3 c + 3 T granulated sugar , divided
• 2 c + 1 T flour , leveled
• 1 t vanilla
• rainbow sprinkles or nonpareils (optional)

Preheat oven to 325F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat together butter and 2/3 cup of sugar until combined. Add in flour and vanilla and blend well.

Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Gently roll the balls in the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar until lightly coated. Set on the baking sheet 2 inches apart. With the bottom of a measuring cup or glass, press down on the ball of dough to flatten. If using sprinkles or nonpareils, sprinkle over flattened cookie dough and lightly press down so they stick.

Bake for 14-16 minutes or until just slightly golden around the edges and on the bottom. Remove from the oven and let rest on the baking sheets for at least 10-15 minutes to finish baking. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
