Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 1/4 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray or parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in your egg and vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together baking soda, baking powder, and flour. Slowly mix this in with your wet ingredients. Mixing until well combined.
  • Place sprinkles on a plate. Scoop out 1 1/2 tbsp of dough and place in the sprinkles. Roll the dough until completely covered in sprinkles. Place sprinkle covered cookie onto your prepared baking sheet and press down. 
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven then allow to cool on the baking sheet for 8-10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Cooking Tip: The parchment paper will help prevent the sprinkles from burning if they were directly touching the baking sheet.
Do I need to chill this cookie dough?
For a lot of my cookie recipes, I have you all chill the dough. For this one I do not.
The reason for that is since I am not mixing the sprinkles in the dough and am instead rolling the cookie dough balls in the sprinkles, I do not chill them.
