Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for softer cookies)
- 30 grams sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or a stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in three additions, mixing on low speed after each addition. Avoid overmixing the dough.
If the dough feels too dry, add 1 tablespoon of milk to achieve a softer dough texture.
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
Gently press down on each dough ball with the back of a spoon to slightly flatten them, and, if desired, top them with sprinkles for added decoration.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are lightly golden. Do not overbake; the centers will continue to set as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Sweetie Cookies with a glass of milk, coffee, or tea!
