Ingredients
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup rainbow sprinkles
½ cup mini chocolate chips or candy-coated chocolates
Optional: Food coloring, dried fruit bits, or edible glitter
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or candy-coated chocolates.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.
- To freeze: Store dough in individual scooped portions, then freeze for up to 3 months. Bake directly from the freezer, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
- For a healthier option, you can reduce sugar by ¼ cup or substitute with a sugar alternative.
