Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Sugars and Add-ins
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it reaches the right temperature for perfect baking.
- Melt Butter: Microwave the butter for about 40 seconds until completely melted but not hot to touch to avoid cooking the egg later.
- Combine Sugars and Butter: In a large bowl, mix the melted butter with the granulated and brown sugars until well combined and creamy.
- Add Vanilla and Egg: Stir in the vanilla extract and the egg until the mixture is fully incorporated and smooth.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined; the dough should be soft and a little sticky but manageable.
- Fold in Sprinkles: Gently fold the sprinkles into the dough, distributing them evenly without over-mixing to avoid color bleeding.
- Scoop Dough: Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie and place them spaced apart on a baking sheet.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until cookies are puffy and slightly underbaked in the center, which ensures softness.
- Cool Before Serving: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Measure flour accurately by stirring or sifting it before scooping and sweeping to avoid dense, dry cookies.
- Use Betty Crocker Rainbow Sprinkles or similar types that don’t bleed to keep your cookie colors vibrant.
- Do not overbake; cookies will still look slightly underbaked in the center when done—this keeps them soft and chewy.
- If you prefer crispier cookies, bake for the full 10 minutes; for softer cookies, aim closer to 7 minutes.
- Butter can be melted on the stovetop as an alternative to microwaving.
