Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Baking Essentials:
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Decorative Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- Additional rainbow sprinkles
- Edible glitter (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper, ensuring an even, non-stick surface for the magical cookies.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly cream softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes airy and pale, creating a smooth foundation for the cookies.
- Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the butter mixture, whisking vigorously until the ingredients are seamlessly blended and the texture becomes uniform.
- Separately, combine flour, baking powder, and salt, creating a delicate dry ingredient mixture that will provide structure to the cookies.
- Gradually merge the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, stirring gently to maintain the light, fluffy consistency and prevent overmixing.
- Delicately fold rainbow sprinkles and white chocolate chips into the dough, distributing them evenly to ensure each cookie bursts with colorful excitement.
- Shape the dough into tablespoon-sized spheres, rolling each ball generously in additional rainbow sprinkles to create a vibrant, sparkling exterior.
- Arrange the sprinkle-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart to allow proper spreading during baking.
- Slide the baking sheets into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for light golden edges that indicate perfect doneness.
- After removing from the oven, allow cookies to rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.
- For an enchanting final touch, dust the cooled cookies with edible glitter, transforming them into whimsical unicorn-inspired treats.
Notes
- Customize sprinkle intensity by adjusting the amount of rainbow sprinkles to control color and texture.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before rolling to prevent spreading and maintain cookie shape during baking.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth blending and consistent cookie texture.
- Swap white chocolate chips with dairy-free alternatives for vegan-friendly version.
