Ingredients
Scale
Butter and Sugars
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
Wet Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat Oven. Preheat the oven to 350 F to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature while you prepare the dough.
- Melt Butter. Microwave the butter for about 40 seconds until completely melted but not hot.
- Mix Sugars and Butter. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter with granulated and brown sugars until well combined.
- Add Vanilla and Egg. Stir in vanilla extract and egg, mixing until fully incorporated for a smooth batter.
- Combine Dry Ingredients. Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt to the bowl. Mix until just combined; the dough should be soft and a little sticky without being overly sticky.
- Fold in Sprinkles. Gently fold the sprinkles into the dough evenly, taking care not to overmix.
- Portion Cookies. Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough using a medium cookie scoop and place the dough balls onto a baking sheet, spaced apart.
- Bake Cookies. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still look slightly underbaked and puffy in the center.
Notes
- Flour Measurement: Stir or sift the flour before measuring using the scoop and sweep method to avoid dry or crumbly cookies.
- Sprinkles: Use sprinkles like Betty Crocker Rainbow Sprinkles as they do not bleed color into the dough.
- Baking: Avoid overbaking to keep cookies soft and tender rather than crunchy.
