Step 1

In a a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar. Add vanilla bean paste and mix until fully blended.

Step 3

Place dough on a lightly floured counter. Roll into a 12-inch log. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

When ready to bake, slice dough into thin slices. Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes in a 350 degree oven, until cookies begin to lightly brown on edges.

Once cooled, spread a small amount of melted vanilla bark onto each cookie and immediate add sprinkles. Allow to set, about 15 minutes.
