Ingredients
Cookie Dough
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Decoration
Extra rainbow sprinkles
Edible glitter (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure our cookies bake evenly and don’t stick.
Cookie Dough
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Dry Ingredients
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Combine
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Add Sprinkles and Chips: Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles and white chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Forming Cookies
Shape the Dough: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
Add Extra Sprinkles: Roll each ball in additional rainbow sprinkles for an extra pop of color.
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking
Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Cool the Cookies: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Decoration
Add Edible Glitter: Once the cookies are completely cooled, sprinkle some edible glitter over them for that magical shimmer effect. This step is optional but highly recommended for that extra touch of magic!
Notes
Softening Butter: Make sure your butter is properly softened to room temperature for easy creaming. If you’re in a hurry, cut it into small pieces to speed up the process.
Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined to keep the cookies soft and tender.
Even Baking: Use a cookie scoop to ensure even-sized cookies that bake uniformly.
