Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup rainbow sprinkles
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350F (175C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper for optimal cookie release.
- Using an electric mixer, blend softened butter with granulated and powdered sugars until the mixture becomes airy and pale, creating a smooth base.
- Incorporate eggs individually into the sugar mixture, ensuring each is fully integrated, then introduce vanilla extract for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Separately combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, whisking thoroughly to eliminate potential lumps and ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until a uniform dough forms without overmixing.
- Gently incorporate colorful sprinkles throughout the dough, distributing them evenly to create a festive, speckled appearance.
- Portion dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies to allow room for spreading during baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for subtle golden edges as an indicator of perfect doneness.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set their structure, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling and optimal texture.
Notes
- Choose room temperature butter for a smoother, more evenly mixed dough that helps cookies spread perfectly.
- Avoid overmixing the sprinkles to prevent color bleeding and maintain a vibrant, festive appearance in the final cookies.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create a thicker, softer cookie texture.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend, ensuring the same delightful taste and texture.
