In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
Once the butter and sugar are well combined, add in the egg and vanilla extract. Beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and cocoa powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Place the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and shape it into a log. Roll the dough tightly in the plastic wrap, twisting the ends to seal it. Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
Once the dough has chilled and become firm, remove it from the refrigerator and unwrap it. Roll the log in sprinkles, pressing them into the dough to ensure they stick. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1/4 inch rounds. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
With their rich chocolate flavor and fun sprinkles, these Christmas icebox cookies are sure to be a hit this holiday season. Plus, the convenience of being able to make them ahead of time makes them the perfect addition to your holiday baking list.
