Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 3/4 cups (350 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups (313 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup (170 g) rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using an electric mixer, blend butter and sugar until airy and pale, creating a smooth base for the cookies.
- Incorporate egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to ensure even distribution of moisture.
- In a separate mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to eliminate potential lumps.
- Gently combine dry ingredients with the butter mixture, stirring until just integrated to maintain a tender texture.
- Delicately fold rainbow sprinkles and optional mix-ins like white chocolate chips or nuts throughout the dough.
- Portion dough into tablespoon-sized rounds, positioning them approximately 2 inches apart on the prepared sheet.
- Softly press down each cookie ball with the back of a spoon to create a slightly flattened shape.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden edges and slightly soft centers as indicators of perfect doneness.
- Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to stabilize, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.
Notes
- Enhance sprinkle distribution by gently mixing them into the dough’s last stages to prevent color bleeding.
- Keep butter at room temperature for smoother creaming and better cookie texture, ensuring even mixing without overmixing.
- Use gel food coloring for vibrant sprinkles if homemade, preventing moisture that might affect cookie consistency.
- Try gluten-free flour blend for a celiac-friendly version, maintaining similar texture and taste by using a 1:1 replacement ratio.
