Ingredients
The following ingredients have 14 Servings
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (not margarine, softened for 20 minutes at room temperature)
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 tablespoons multicolored sprinkles (jimmies (optional))
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line insulated baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
- Cream together the butter and sugar. Add the egg yolks and vanilla, beating until light and fluffy. Mix in the dry ingredients. If your dough is sticky, refrigerate it for 1 hour to make it easier to work with.
- Shape into 1 inch balls (about 1 tablespoon each). Push a skewer or the end of a wooden spoon all the way through center of each ball and shape dough into a ring. Make sure the whole is big enough as these cookies double in size and the hole will close up while baking. Dip top of each ring in sprinkles. Place cookies onto the prepare baking sheets.
- Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown. DON'T OVER BAKE. 8 minutes was perfect for mine. Remove from the baking sheets and let cool on racks.
