Ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup sprinkles

Instructions

  • In mixing bowl add butter and sugar. Mix till fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl half way through (about 5-7 minutes).
  • Add egg and extract. Continue to mix until incorporated.
  • Slowly mix in dry ingredients by adding one at a time until the flour disappears and the dough is creamy. (it will be slightly sticky)
  • Place in refrigerator for a minimum of 15 minutes up to 1 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out cookie dough balls and roll in between hands to get a nice ball. (might need to cover hands lightly in flour if it’s too sticky)
  • Roll the tip in sprinkles and place on to prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, just until edges are golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and let them cool on a cookie rack.
  • Serve and ENJOY!

Notes

Notes about the sprinkles. I did try rolling the entire cookie in sprinkles and although it worked I just didn’t like how it looked for me, which is why I’m just rolling only the tops in.
Store: Store 5-7 days on countertop in airtight container. Up to 3 months in freezer.
