Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Mix-ins
- 1 and 1/4 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles (jimmies style preferred)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats for easy cleanup.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Then mix in the vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in White Chocolate and Sprinkles: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles using a spatula, making sure they’re evenly distributed.
- Scoop and Arrange: Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough (about 2 tablespoons per cookie) and place on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
- Cool: Remove from the oven. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use jimmies (rod-shaped sprinkles) for the best color—nonpareils can bleed color into the dough.
- The dough can be chilled for 30 minutes if you want a thicker cookie.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Mix in up to 1/2 cup chopped nuts or swap chocolate chips for variety.
