Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of powdered sugar until fluffy and pale, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and blend until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.25 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until you form a soft, crumbly dough.
  6. Roll tablespoon-sized portions of dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until the bottoms turn lightly golden.
  8. Melt 1.5 cups of white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
  9. Dip each cooled cookie halfway into the melted white chocolate, then sprinkle with colorful holiday sprinkles.
  10. Let the cookies cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
