Mexican Butter Cookies with Sprinkles (Galletas con Chochitos)

Green, red, and white sprinkles transform these into festive Christmas cookies.

MAKES 3 DOZEN COOKIES
Ingredients
1 1⁄2 cups flour
1⁄2 tsp. baking powder
1⁄4 tsp. kosher salt
3⁄4 cup sugar
8 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 egg yolks
1 egg white, lightly beaten
Multicolored sprinkles, for decorating

Instructions
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a mixer, beat together sugar, butter, and vanilla until fluffy. Add yolks one at a time; beat until fully incorporated before adding the next. Add dry ingredients; mix. Roll dough into a 12"-long cylinder. Cut cylinder into 3 pieces; roll each into a 12"-long cylinder. Cut each cylinder into twelve 1"-long pieces. Roll each into a ball; transfer to a lined baking sheet. Flatten each into a small disk; using your finger, poke a hole in center of each disk. Chill for 1 hour. Heat oven to 300°. Brush each ring with egg white; dip into sprinkles to coat. Return to baking sheets; bake for 15 minutes. Let cool.
