Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 1 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 50 grams mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 50 grams sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a smooth dough forms.
Divide the dough into three equal portions.
For the plain butter cookies, leave one portion as is.
For the chocolate chip butter cookies, mix in the mini chocolate chips to the second portion.
For the sprinkle cookies, fold in the sprinkles into the third portion.
Scoop out 1-tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
For the plain butter cookies, you can flatten the dough balls slightly with the back of a spoon for a classic appearance.
Bake each batch of cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
