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!
Notes
These cookies freeze well, so you can make a batch ahead of time and enjoy them later!
