Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup colorful sprinkles
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or your favorite filling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the colorful sprinkles and chocolate chips (if using).
- Form Cookies: Using a cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked – this is perfect for a soft cookie!
- Cool: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
