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 prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes, which helps incorporate air for tender cookies.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous, ensuring proper binding of ingredients.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute the leavening and salt throughout the flour.
- Mix wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough which can lead to tough cookies.
- Fold in add-ins: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles, spreading them evenly without deflating the dough.
- Scoop dough: Using a tablespoon, scoop evenly sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges turn a light golden brown while the centers remain soft, indicating perfect doneness.
- Cool cookies: Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on them for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they set properly.
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough once you add the flour; it can make the cookies tough.
- For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon for portioning the dough.
- You can substitute rainbow sprinkles for any festive colored sprinkles to match holidays or events.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For a softer cookie, slightly underbake by reducing baking time by 1-2 minutes.
