Ingredients
- 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons light brown sugar firmly packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ⅓ cups cake flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ heaping teaspoon table salt
- 3 Tablespoons Sprinkles I like to use a mix of nonpareils and jimmies but one or the other would work fine
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 315F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together butter, sugars, and vanilla extract until light and thoroughly creamed.
- Separately, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- With electric mixer on medium-low, gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture until combined. Mixture will be very dry and sandy, but if you pinch it with your fingers it should cling together.
- Add sprinkles, then use your hands to incorporate the sprinkles and to pinch together the dough, creating clusters. I usually create large clusters that I break into smaller pieces. Ultimately it should resemble streusel with varying sizes of clumps when you’re finished.
- Spread evenly onto prepared baking sheet and bake on 315F (155C) for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool completely on baking sheet. The crumbs will be soft while warm, but will become firm once they’ve cooled completely.
- Use as desired over cakes, cupcakes, cookies, or even just enjoy by the handful.
