Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups salted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Mix-ins:
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips, plus extra for garnish
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles, plus extra for garnish
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, whisk together melted butter (cooled to room temperature), granulated and brown sugars, and vanilla extract until smooth and integrated.
- Incorporate eggs individually, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Gradually introduce dry ingredients, stirring until just combined to maintain cookie tenderness.
- Carefully fold white chocolate chips and vibrant rainbow sprinkles into the dough using a silicone spatula, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
- Arrange parchment paper on a baking sheet. Portion dough into 24 uniform spheres, cover with plastic film, and refrigerate for minimum 45 minutes or up to 24 hours for enhanced flavor development.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange 5 chilled dough balls on prepared baking sheet, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart to allow proper spreading during baking.
- Bake for 11-12 minutes until golden brown edges emerge and centers appear slightly soft. Immediately after removing from oven, use a round cookie cutter to gently reshape cookies into perfect circular forms.
- Allow cookies to rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire cooling rack. While still warm, optionally embellish with additional white chocolate chips and playful sprinkles for extra visual appeal.
Notes
- Refrigerating the dough helps prevent spreading and creates a chewier, more flavorful cookie with deeper caramelized edges.
- Swap regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to make these cookies accessible for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze unbaked dough balls for spontaneous fresh-baked treats anytime.
