Ingredients
 

  • cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ½ cup butter (cut into tiny bites (1 stick))
  • ¼ cup ice cold water
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 3 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles
  • pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Mix flour, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl. Drop the tiny pieces of butter and using a pastry cutter or a fork or your hand, press down the butter pieces and mix it with the flour. The butter pieces should be well mixed with the flour and resemble coarse crumbs.
  • Mix the rainbow sprinkles into it and pour water and milk. Using a rubber spatula, mix it to form a dough. Then, using you hand, knead for a while to make smooth dough out of it.
  • Cover the dough with a clear wrap and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  • While rolling the dough, place a parchment paper below the dough and one above. This will avoid the dough from sticking to the rolling pins. Roll it to ¼ inch thick and using the alphabet cookie cutter, cut out as many alphabets as you can.
  • Line the cookies on a baking sheet and put the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
  • In the meantime, preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Bake the cookies for about 12 to 14 minutes or until the edges are mild golden in shade. Using a metal spatula, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool off completely. If you don’t have a wire rack, just take it off from the hot baking pan to a plate.
