Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

Decoration

  • 0.5 cup Easter sprinkles

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Place the Easter sprinkles in a shallow bowl. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll each ball in the sprinkles to coat thoroughly. Place the coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. The cookies will be soft.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature. If your dough is too sticky, chill it for 15-20 minutes before rolling. Get creative with your decorations using different colored sprinkles or icing!
