Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 piece large egg
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 80 grams rainbow sprinkles (jimmies)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhangs for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the bowl. Whisk again until the mixture is fully incorporated and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
Fold in the rainbow sprinkles gently to ensure they are evenly distributed without breaking.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan and press it down into an even layer using a spatula or clean hands.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set. Do not overbake to maintain a soft texture.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhangs. Cut into 16 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
