Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup rainbow sprinkles
Leavening Agents:
- 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) baking soda
Flavor and Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350F (175C) and lining baking sheets with parchment paper for optimal cookie performance.
- Create a creamy base by whipping softened butter and sugar together until the mixture becomes airy and pale, ensuring a smooth texture.
- Introduce eggs individually into the butter mixture, thoroughly incorporating each one to maintain a consistent blend, then infuse with vanilla extract for aromatic depth.
- Separately combine all dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt – to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Merge dry and wet ingredients gradually, gently folding until a uniform dough forms without overmixing, which could lead to tough cookies.
- Delicately fold colorful sprinkles throughout the dough, distributing them evenly to create a festive, confetti-like appearance.
- Shape the dough into uniform 1.5-inch spheres, strategically placing them on prepared baking sheets with sufficient spacing for expansion.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for subtle golden edges as an indicator of perfect doneness, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling and texture stabilization.
Notes
- Experiment with different sprinkle colors to create vibrant, festive variations of the cookie.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth, even mixing and better cookie texture.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain a perfect round shape.
