Start by creaming the butter and sugars. No patience for softening butter required. Cold butter cut into cubes works perfectly in this recipe.

Lastly, gently mix in the sprinkles.
Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently flatten the balls of dough and top with some additional sprinkles. Bake at 375 degrees for 9 minutes, or until lightly brown around the edges.
