Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
Decoration
  • 1/2 cup non-pareil sprinkles for decoration

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
  6. Gently fold in the non-pareil sprinkles into the dough, ensuring even distribution.
  7. Using a tablespoon, scoop out dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each ball.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  2. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Cookie dough can be frozen for up to 3 months.
