Prepare

1. In a large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add flour and mix until combined, about 30 seconds. Add cake flour and water and continue to mix until smooth, about 1 minute longer. Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap and flatten into a disc. Wrap tightly, then refrigerate until slightly firm, about 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
3. Divide the dough in half. Working with one portion at a time (wrap the other in plastic and refrigerate until ready to use), roll out to ½ inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut out shapes with a cookie cutter. Use an offset spatula to gently lift cookies and transfer to prepared baking sheet, 1 inch apart. Gather and reroll the pieces until all the dough is used up.
4. Bake cookies until they puff up and the edges start to crisp, 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
5. When ready to decorate, place melted candy in a microwave-safe bowl, microwave every 30 seconds, and stir until completely melted.
6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Dip cookies in candy melt and place on prepared baking sheet. Alternatively, transfer the melted candy to a small piping bag and cut the tip, then drizzle over the cookies. Decorate with red, green and white sprinkles. Let sit until the candy hardens, about 10 minutes.
8. enjoy!
