   • In a bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder. Set this dry mix aside for later use.

2. Cream Butter and Vanilla:

   • Using an electric mixer on medium-low speed, cream together the butter and vanilla extract until they become fluffy and well combined.

3. Incorporate Dry Mix:

   • Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the creamed butter and vanilla. Mix until all the ingredients are well blended together.

4. Chill the Dough:

   • Cover the dough and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps the dough firm up for easier handling.

5. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking.

6. Shape the Dough:

   • Take the chilled dough and form it into small 1-inch balls. Then, gently shape these balls into 2-inch long logs, about 1/2-inch thick.

7. Arrange on Baking Sheets:

   • Place the shaped dough logs onto ungreased cookie sheets, making sure to space them about 2 inches apart. This allows them to expand while baking.

8. Bake until Set:

   • Slide the cookie sheets into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12 minutes, or until the shortbread sticks are set. They should be firm to the touch.

9. Cool and Prepare Toppings:

   • Allow the baked sticks to cool on the cookie sheets for about 2 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

10. Melt White Chocolate:

    • In a saucepan over very low heat, melt the white chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the chocolate becomes smooth and creamy.

11. Dip and Decorate:

    • Pour your favorite sprinkles into a small bowl. Dip each end of the cooled shortbread sticks into the melted white chocolate, and then into the sprinkles.

12. Set and Serve:

    • Place the chocolate-dipped sticks back onto the wire racks to allow the chocolate to set. This takes about 25 minutes. Once set, they are ready to serve and enjoy!

Tips:

• 🌟 For extra flavor, you can use different flavored chocolates for dipping, like milk or dark chocolate.
• 🌟 If the dough feels too sticky when shaping, lightly dust your hands with flour.
• 🌟 Get creative with toppings! Aside from sprinkles, try crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or even a drizzle of caramel.
