Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated, then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
Fold in the white chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
If using, gently fold in the sprinkles for a festive touch.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop even portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly undercooked, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
