Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Ensure butter is at room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup rainbow sprinkles Can substitute with seasonal sprinkles

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and granulated sugar. Beat them together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Crack the egg into the mixture and pour in vanilla extract. Blend until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles until evenly distributed.
  6. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  2. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a healthier version, consider using coconut oil instead of butter or a sugar alternative. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or freeze for later use.
