Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup butter ((softened, at room temperature))
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs ((at room temperature))
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup sprinkles ((holiday or assorted colors))
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar

Instruction

  • In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Beat the eggs in one at a time, just enough to fully incorporate the eggs. Add the vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, and salt then mix to combine.
  • Add the flour and mix until fully combined, then fold in the sprinkles. Cover your mixing bowl with plastic cling film and set aside for 15 minutes while the oven preheats.
  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet(s) with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Put the confectioners' sugar in a small bowl or a shallow dish, then shape the dough into 1-inch balls (I'm using a #50 scoop or melon baller). Roll each dough ball in the confectioners' sugar before placing them onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving 2-inches of spacing between the cookies.
  • Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 12-14 minutes or until the cookie bottoms are just beginning to turn light golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
