Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles (plus more for rolling)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup of rainbow sprinkles into the cookie dough.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll them in additional sprinkles, pressing lightly to ensure they stick. Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These sprinkle cookies are a delightful, colorful treat perfect for any occasion, bringing smiles and sweetness with every bite!
