Some of Shaina Jewett’s, from our Shoreline market, fondest childhood memories are bonding over these holiday cookies as a family. Now she carries on the tradition making this recipe with her own children. The cookie dough is super tasty and incredibly friendly to work with! *Requires 1 hour of chill time.

STEP 1
In a bowl with a hand mixer or a stand-up mixer with paddle attachment cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

To decorate cookies with sprinkles, brush cut dough with egg whites and sprinkle with colored sugar.
STEP 7
Bake cookies for 6-8 minutes until cookies just start looking golden around the edges.
