Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup sprinkles
- Additional granulated sugar (for rolling dough balls)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is light in color and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Mix in the large egg white and vanilla extract, continuing to beat for another 30 seconds, or until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed just until the flour disappears and the dough comes together.
- Gently fold the sprinkles into the dough with a spatula, distributing them evenly for a colorful effect.
- Using a small cookie scooper (about 2 tablespoons), scoop equal portions of dough. Roll each dough ball in granulated sugar to coat, then place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. They should be just set and the edges lightly golden.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to rest on it for 5 to 10 minutes to firm up. Then transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy the cookies immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Notes
