Sugar Cookie Slices Taste Home

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating well to combine.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

6. Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles, being careful not to overmix to maintain the colorful swirls in the dough.

7. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.

8. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.

9. Once chilled, unwrap the logs and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

10. Place the cookie slices on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

11. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

12. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
