Equipment
- 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper
- 1 electric mixer
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up, making it easier to handle.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out dough and roll into balls. Place on prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers are slightly underbaked. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serving
- Serve the cookies warm or at room temperature with your favorite beverage. They pair beautifully with milk or coffee.
Storage
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze in a single layer, then transfer to a resealable bag.
