Cookies
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature before baking the cookies.
- Melt Butter: Microwave the butter for about 40 seconds until completely melted but not hot to the touch. This helps it blend smoothly with the sugars.
- Mix Sugars and Butter: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the melted butter with the granulated sugar and packed brown sugar until you get a well-combined mixture.
- Add Vanilla and Egg: Stir in the vanilla extract and egg until fully incorporated into the mixture, creating a smooth batter.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined, ensuring the dough remains soft and slightly sticky but not overly so.
- Fold in Sprinkles: Carefully fold in the sprinkles to distribute the colorful bits evenly throughout the cookie dough without breaking them.
- Shape Cookies: Using a medium cookie scoop or about 1.5 tablespoons of dough, scoop portions of dough onto a baking sheet spaced appropriately apart.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies for 7-10 minutes until they are set and appear slightly puffy. The center will look a bit underbaked, which ensures softness.
- Cool and Serve: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Measure flour carefully by stirring or sifting before scooping and sweeping to prevent adding too much, which can dry out the cookies.
- Use Betty Crocker Rainbow Sprinkles or similar non-bleeding sprinkles to keep your cookies colorful without color mixing.
- Do not overbake the cookies; removing them while slightly underbaked in the center results in a soft, tender texture.
