Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ¾ cups (347 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 grams) light brown sugar, packed
Binding Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup rainbow sprinkles
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare your oven environment by heating to 350F (175C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie performance.
- Create a creamy base by thoroughly blending butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture achieves a light, airy texture.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract, stirring until the ingredients seamlessly integrate and develop a smooth consistency.
- Develop the dry foundation by whisking flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate mixing vessel.
- Merge wet and dry components gently, stirring minimally to prevent overdeveloping gluten and maintain a tender cookie structure.
- Elevate the cookie’s visual and flavor profile by delicately folding white chocolate chips and vibrant rainbow sprinkles throughout the dough.
- Portion the cookie dough using a measuring tool, creating uniform rounds approximately 1½ tablespoons in size and positioning them with adequate spacing on the prepared baking sheet.
- Transfer the cookie-laden sheet into the preheated oven, allowing the confections to transform for 10-12 minutes until edges develop a delicate golden hue.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for a brief 5-minute stabilization period, then carefully migrate them to a wire cooling rack to complete their textural development.
Notes
- Softening butter at room temperature ensures smoother mixing and better cookie texture, helping ingredients blend seamlessly.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies with more defined edges.
- Use gel food coloring for vibrant sprinkles if wanting more intense color without changing cookie consistency or texture.
- Swap white chocolate chips with dairy-free alternatives for vegan version, maintaining the same sweet and playful cookie experience.
