Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 50 grams rainbow sprinkles
- 75 grams chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the rainbow sprinkles and chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and form it into a large, evenly-shaped circle about 1.5 cm (½ inch) thick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Allow the cookie to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, decorate the cookie as desired with icing, additional sprinkles, or candles for a festive touch. Slice and serve!
