Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles, divided

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth. Add flour, baking powder, and salt, then stir just until combined.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment. Roll dough into tablespoon-sized balls, coat in the remaining 1/4 cup sprinkles, and place 2 inches apart on the sheet.
  4. Bake until edges are set and centers look slightly underdone, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

If you want thicker, taller cookies, chill the rolled dough balls for 30 minutes before baking. The baked cookies stay soft for days when stored with a slice of bread in the container.
