Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (80g) rainbow sprinkles (jimmies preferred)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping the bowl between each. Add vanilla extract and almond extract (if using). Mix until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing on low just until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in rainbow sprinkles with a spatula.
  7. Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop or two spoons, drop dough balls onto lined baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart. Press extra sprinkles on top if desired.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are just set and centers look slightly underbaked.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use ‘jimmies’ style sprinkles to prevent color bleeding. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help cookies keep their shape and enhance chewiness. To make gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. For nut allergies, omit almond extract. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze dough balls for up to 3 months.
