Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 0.5 cup Rainbow sprinkles
- 12 pieces Lollipop sticks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until well 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 until just combined.
Add the tablespoon of milk to the dough and knead it gently until the dough comes together. If too dry, add an extra teaspoon of milk as needed.
Roll the cookie dough into 1.5-inch balls and gently flatten them into disks.
Insert one lollipop stick about two-thirds of the way into each dough disk. Be sure the stick is well-secured.
Press the tops of the cookies lightly into the rainbow sprinkles to decorate.
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, serve your delightful Lollipop Cookies and enjoy!
