Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup butter (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup colorful sugar sprinkles (reserved for rolling)
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon (reserved for rolling)

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until creamed together and fluffy, about a minute.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk (or sift) together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
  • Gradually stir dry ingredients into butter mixture until just combined.
  • Cover bowl or wrap dough in wax paper. Chill for at least 1 hour (up to 24 hours) in the refrigerator. Refrigerating will help the flavors meld and also create a firmer dough to roll into balls.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Scoop dough using a medium cookie scoop or shape by hand into 1.5 inch balls.
  • In small bowls, divide the cinnamon evenly between your different colors of sugar sprinkles. Gently roll balls in cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat. Place cookie dough balls 2 inches apart onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned around the edges. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
