Refrigerator Cookies with Chocolate Sprinkles

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup confectioners sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup rolled oats

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

1 (1.75 ounce) package chocolate sprinkles (jimmies)

In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in the vanilla and oats. Next, combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Divide the dough into 3 sections, and shape each section into a log about 8 inches long. Roll each log in the sprinkles to coat, then wrap them in waxed paper and chill overnight.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line them with parchment paper. Cut the cookie dough rolls into 1/4 inch slices and place them 1 inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from baking sheet to cool on wire racks.
