Equipment
- Stand mixer with the paddle attachment
- Medium Sized Mixing Bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Rolling Pin
- Cookie Cutters
- Baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone liner
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold salted butter 8 ounces or two sticks
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4-1/3 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Use the scoop & level method to measure the flour. Set this bowl aside.
- In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Slowly mix in the flour and baking powder mixture. The dough will be dry at first but will eventually form a ball.
- Add in the sprinkles and stir on low until just combined.
- Roll the dough out on a floured surface or a piece of parchment paper to 3/8" of an inch thick.
- Cut out the cookies and place on a lined baking sheet. Make sure to not overcrowd the pan. I like to place only six cookies on a baking sheet at a time.
- Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes or until the tops of the cookies no longer appear wet.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving them onto a cooling rack. Continue baking the rest of the cookies until the dough is gone.
