step 1

Add the softened butter, cream cheese, caster sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to a bowl and beat well, using an electric beater, until light and fluffy.

Add all-purpose flour to this mixture and mix, until all flour is incorporated. Flatten the dough into a disc and wrap it in cling film.

Let the cookies cool completely, then spoon the glaze over the cookies and decorate with the sprinkles.
