Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Baking sheets
  • cookie scoop

Ingredients

For the Cookie Base

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour For gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend.
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar Can substitute with coconut sugar.
  • 3/4 cup Brown Sugar Light brown sugar works well; dark enhances molasses flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Ensure freshness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Essential for depth; do not omit.
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Use room temperature.
  • 1 large Egg For egg replacement, use 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce.
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract Real vanilla is preferable.

For the Colorful Finish

  • 1 cup Sprinkles Can substitute with chocolate chips or nuts.

Instructions

Steps to Make Cookies

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter with both granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Beat in one egg along with the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold this mixture into your wet ingredients until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the sprinkles, ensuring they’re evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
  • Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto lined baking sheets, leaving about two inches of space between each cookie.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and centers remain soft.
  • Allow cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Optional: Drizzle with chocolate or a sprinkle of sea salt for extra delight. Refrigerate dough for best results.
