Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure cookies bake evenly and don’t stick.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, making sure each is fully incorporated to create a smooth batter.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt to distribute the leavening and seasoning evenly.
- Mix Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing and tough cookies.
- Fold in Chips and Sprinkles: Carefully fold in the white chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles to evenly distribute the festive additions throughout the dough.
- Shape Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them a couple of inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake and Cool: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers still appear soft. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overbake to maintain soft centers.
- For best texture, use softened butter instead of melted butter.
- You can substitute white chocolate chips with regular chocolate chips or butterscotch chips for variation.
- Use rainbow sprinkles that are oven-safe to prevent melting colors.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
