**Easy And Delicious Holiday Cookie**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 2 eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup holiday-themed sprinkles
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
5. Roll the cookie dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll each ball in the holiday-themed sprinkles until coated.
6. Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Using the bottom of a glass, gently flatten each cookie to about 1/2-inch thickness.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
9. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once cooled, store in an airtight container to keep the cookies fresh and enjoy them with a glass of milk or pack them up in pretty boxes for gifting.
