Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour Always opt for high-quality flour for the best results.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Ensure it’s fresh for proper leavening.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Use high-quality butter that’s at room temperature for optimum creaming.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Adds sweetness and helps create that perfect texture.
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar For added softness and sweetness.
  • 1 large egg Fresh eggs work best.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Natural vanilla is key for aroma and flavor.
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles Use a brand like Wilton for vibrant colors that don’t bleed during baking.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Mixing
  1. In a large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain.
  4. Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles until evenly distributed.
Baking
  1. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  3. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
