Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 F to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature by the time your dough is ready.
- Melt Butter: Microwave the butter for about 40 seconds until completely melted but not hot to the touch to help mix easily with sugars.
- Mix Sugars and Butter: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Vanilla and Egg: Stir in vanilla extract and the large egg until fully incorporated, creating a smooth batter.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the dough; it should be soft and slightly sticky.
- Fold in Sprinkles: Gently fold the sprinkles evenly into the dough to avoid bleeding colors and keep them intact.
- Scoop Cookies: Using about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie (a medium cookie scoop), place dough balls onto a prepared baking sheet with space between each.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until cookies are set but still look slightly underbaked in the center for the best softness.
Notes
- Measure flour properly by stirring or sifting first, then scoop and level to avoid dry or crumbly cookies.
- Use sprinkles that don’t bleed color such as Betty Crocker Rainbow Sprinkles for vibrant cookies.
- Avoid overbaking to keep cookies soft and chewy; cookies will firm up as they cool.
