Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350 F to properly warm it while you prepare the dough.
- Melt Butter: Microwave the butter for about 40 seconds until completely melted but not hot, ensuring smooth incorporation with sugars.
- Mix Sugars and Butter: In a large bowl, combine melted butter with granulated and brown sugar, mixing until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
- Add Vanilla and Egg: Stir in the vanilla extract and the egg until fully incorporated, creating a smooth batter base.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky but manageable.
- Fold in Sprinkles: Gently fold in the sprinkles to distribute color without melting them or causing bleeding.
- Portion Cookies: Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop 1.5 tablespoons of dough each and place on a baking sheet spaced adequately.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 7 to 10 minutes, until the cookies are set, puffy, and the centers still appear slightly underbaked to maintain softness.
Notes
- Flour Measurement: Stir or sift flour before measuring with the scoop and sweep method to avoid adding too much, which can dry out cookies.
- Sprinkles: Use non-bleeding rainbow sprinkles, such as Betty Crocker brand, for vibrant colors.
- Baking Time: Avoid overbaking; cookies should remain soft and slightly underbaked in the middle for best texture.
