Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/8 cups flour
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 egg
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Flavor and Decoration:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350°F and lining baking sheets with parchment paper for optimal cookie release.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- Using an electric mixer, cream butter with granulated and powdered sugars for 4 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Incorporate egg and vanilla extract into the butter mixture, blending until smooth and well integrated.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold rainbow sprinkles into the cookie dough, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Using a cookie scoop, form dough into uniform 1.5 tablespoon-sized balls, spacing them adequately on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake cookies in preheated oven for 11-12 minutes, watching for lightly golden edges and set centers.
- Allow cookies to rest on baking sheet for 5-10 minutes to firm up, then transfer to wire rack for complete cooling.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for smoother creaming and better cookie texture, ensuring even mixing and softness.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain cookie shape.
- Fold sprinkles gently to prevent color bleeding, keeping the vibrant rainbow effect intact throughout the cookies.
- Try different sprinkle types like nonpareils, jimmies, or sanding sugar for unique visual and textural variations.
