Ingredients
2.5 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
0.5 cup holiday sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk the flour and a pinch of baking powder together in a medium bowl.
Cream the softened butter and sugar in a large mixer until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Scoop the dough into one-inch balls using a small cookie scoop.
Roll each dough ball in a bowl filled with holiday sprinkles until evenly coated.
Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Ensure your butter is at room temperature for the best creaming results. The dough does not require chilling, but if your kitchen is very warm, a 10-minute rest in the fridge can help prevent spreading. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
