Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (165g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (about 150g) colorful sprinkles (sturdy jimmies or non-melting confetti sprinkles)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Allow butter and eggs to come to room temperature.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer or wooden spoon until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in the sprinkles with a rubber spatula to avoid color bleeding.
  7. Drop rounded balls of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets using a cookie scoop or tablespoon.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling racks to cool completely.

Notes

For extra chewy cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Use fresh, cool baking sheets for even baking and avoid overmixing the dough to keep cookies tender. Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain softness. Freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months.
