Ingredients
For the cookies
- 150 g Unsalted butter room temperature
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 25 Brown sugar
- 1 Egg room temperature
- 1 teasppoon Vanilla extract
- 190 g All purpose flour
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Baking soda
- 85 g Rainbow Sprinkles Jimmies
Instructions
Cookies
- Mix in the egg and vanilla, just until combined.
- Mix flour, salt, and baking soda together, then add the mixture to the wet ingredients. Fold together with the help of a rubber spatula then add the sprinkles and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Prepare 2 baking pans with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough into 10 equal balls (using a digital scale is handy or use an ice cream scopper) and place them onto the parchment paper, leaving enough space between them to be able to spread. I recommend baking 5 cookies at once.
- Do not soften the surface of the balls. In fact, try to keep it as rough as possible for a nice, crackly surface. Optionally place some more sprinkles on top of the cookie dough balls then let them rest in the fridge for an hour.
- Pre-heat oven to 175 C / 347°F (no fan).
- After one hour of chilling time, bake the cookies for 15 minutes.
- Let the cookies rest for a few minutes, then carefully remove them from the parchment and let them cool on a cooling rack.
- The cookies will further set as they cool.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Notes
INGREDIENT NOTES:
- Measure your ingredients with a Digital scale for accuracy
- Use room temp. ingredients eg. egg and butter
- Use jimmies sprinkles as they hold up really well when baked
- Make sure you read my Expert tips section above to maximize your success. A short recipe alone is not able to cover all the necessary details, and science behind baking.
- Do not overmix the dough when adding the sprinkles, gently fold it with the help of a rubber spatula only until combined so the sprinkles won´t melt into the dough. It is always a good idea to add a bit more sprinkles on top once the cookie balls are formed.
- Respect the chilling time in the cookie recipe, do not skip it, or the cookies might end up very flat
- Try not to overbake your cookies if you prefer them fudgy and gooey
