Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup rainbow sprinkles
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
Layer the dry mixture into a quart-sized mason jar or airtight container.
Add the granulated sugar as the second layer, followed by the light brown sugar as the third layer. Make sure to pack each layer down to ensure a neat appearance.
Sprinkle the rainbow sprinkles as the next layer. For an extra festive touch, add mini chocolate chips as the final optional layer.
Seal the jar tightly and include a note with the following instructions for baking the cookies.
To bake the confetti cookies, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the contents of the jar with 3/4 cup (1.5 sticks) of unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your colorful, chewy Confetti Cookies, or give the mix as a thoughtful gift!
