Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp 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 tsp 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, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. This step incorporates air for a tender texture.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully mixed, then add the vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. This evenly distributes the leavening agent throughout the flour.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
- Fold in White Chocolate Chips and Sprinkles: Carefully fold the white chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles into the dough, ensuring an even distribution without deflating the batter.
- Portion Dough: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them adequately to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden while the centers remain soft and slightly underbaked for a chewy texture.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened but not melted for the best creaming results.
- Do not overmix the dough once flour is added to avoid tough cookies.
- Use parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- For a festive touch, feel free to substitute rainbow sprinkles with seasonal colored sprinkles.
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
