Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. This step incorporates air for a tender texture.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is smooth and homogenous.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning.
- Mix wet and dry components: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the cookies.
- Fold in chips and sprinkles: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles, ensuring even distribution without breaking the add-ins.
- Scoop the dough: Using a tablespoon, scoop dough portions onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Place the sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the cookie edges are golden, but the centers remain soft and chewy.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to cooling racks to cool completely and firm up.
Notes
- For best texture, do not overmix the dough once the flour is added.
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for easier mixing and better consistency.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Slightly underbaking gives a chewier center, so adjust baking time based on your preference.
- Rainbow sprinkles can be swapped with any festive colored sprinkles to match a theme.
