Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups butter, softened
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1/2 cup sprinkles

Instructions

In a large bowl, use a mixer to combine the butter and sugar until well blended.
Add the flour and blend into the butter until just incorporated. Add 1/4 cup of the sprinkles, if using, and just lightly beat into the dough. Do not over mix!
Turn the dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap and wrap tightly. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
In the meantime, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
Dust a flat surface, such as your counter top, with flour and roll the chilled dough out with a rolling pin to 1/4 inch thick.
Sprinkle on the desired amount of sprinkles and use a cookie cutter to cut out snowflake shapes.
Transfer the dough to the baking sheet using a flat, slotted, metal spatula. Leave 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven promptly and allow cookies to rest for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
Re-roll the left over dough, and bake the next batch.

Notes

Number of cookies will depend on the size of your selected cookie cutter.
