In a large bowl, cream together the softened Salted Plugrà® Premium European Style Butter and powdered sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Add in the all-purpose flour and mix until the dough just comes together.

Wrap the cookie dough in cling wrap and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or up to 3 days. It can also be frozen at this point for up to 8 weeks.

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.

On a floured surface, roll the dough to ¼ inch thick. Using festive cutters, cut out your shapes and use holiday sprinkles to give them extra sparkle.

Place each on the prepared baking tray and bake for 20 - 24 minutes, or until very lightly golden. Rotate the pans for even baking if needed.

Allow to cool slightly before transferring to a cooling rack. Once cool, the cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Get creative with the baked cookies and sandwich some together with jam, chocolate spread, or dulce de leche and dust with powdered sugar. You can also dip in melted chocolate.
