Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 230 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 150 grams white chocolate chips
- 50 grams festive sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the white chocolate chips and festive sprinkles gently to distribute evenly throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underdone—this will give the cookies a soft texture.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies once fully cooled, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
