Really Rockin' Refrigerator Cookies

• 1 lb (4 sticks butter)

1. Cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add the flour, and mix well.
3. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts, and form each portion into a log 1 inch in diameter.
4. Roll 2 logs in the red sprinkles and 2 in the green sprinkles, pressing them onto the sides.
5. Chill the logs for an hour.
6. Preheat the oven to 350F.
7. Cut the rolls into 1/2 inch thick slices, and place the slices on ungreased cookie sheets.
8. Bake until the cookies are golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
9. Cool the cookies on wire racks.

12. **You can freeze the logs until it's time to bake and slice them right from the freezer, but add 2 to 3 minutes to the baking time.
