- Using a stand or handheld mixer, cream the sugars and butter together for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.

- Scoop and portion the dough onto the cookie trays. Top each cookie with more holiday sprinkles before baking.

TIPS
- For this recipe, I used vanilla bean paste instead of extract because it has a much more pungent vanilla flavor, and you get the little vanilla specks in the cookies.
- Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl halfway through creaming and mixing to ensure everything is incorporated.
- Don’t over-mix the dough, you want it to be soft to create a light cookie.
- To divide the dough, I used a 1 ½ tsp ice cream scoop, which made portioning the cookies easier, but you can use any kind of scoop or even a spoon!
- Start checking the cookies at 5 minutes in the oven. The sugar cookies can burn quickly.
