Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- Granulated sugar
- Unsalted butter
- Eggs
- Sprinkles
- Vanilla extract
- Baking powder
- Salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Gently fold in the sprinkles, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
