Ingredients:
For the Cookies:
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup all purpose flour

For the Glaze:
1 1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar
3 to 4 tbsp. milk
1/4 tsp. vanilla
Sprinkles or NonPareils

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover cookie sheet with parchment paper, set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter, sugar & cornstarch and beat until fully incorporated and creamy. Add in vanilla and beat until incorporated.

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour & salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture until fully incorporated and a dough forms together.

Using a small cookie dough scoop, scoop balls of dough out onto cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Dip the bottom of a measuring cup in confectioner’s sugar and use it to flatten each cookie dough ball.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until just set and pale color. Remove from oven and let cool on cookie sheet for a couple minutes. Transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.

For the Glaze:
Add confectioner’s sugar to a medium sided bowl, add milk 1 tbsp. at a time until a spreadable but thick consistency. Spread glaze on top of cookies and immediately top with desired sprinkles while glaze is still wet.

Allow glaze to set. Store in an airtight container.
