Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons nonpareil sprinkles (for adding to the dough)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
- vanilla buttercream frosting (for frosting or filling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in egg and vanilla and mix until combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl down.
- Gradually add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. If using, mix in the nonpareil sprinkles.
- Use a small cookie scoop to create dough balls about 1 tablespoon each. Gently roll each scoop of dough into a ball and place onto prepared cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Bake in preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, until the centers are just set. They will be puffy when they come out of the oven, but will deflate and the tops will crinkle as they cool. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a couple of minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
