Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter Make sure it's softened to room temperature.
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs Use large eggs for best results.
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder Make sure it's fresh!
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract Pure vanilla is best.
  • 1 cup sprinkles Choose your favorite colorful sprinkles!

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  • Scoop out tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Then, roll each ball in sprinkles until well coated.
  • Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a couple of inches apart. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your colorful cookies!
