Ingredients
- 2 ticks butter room temperature 225 g Note 1, unsalted
- 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar 250 g
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour 355 g, Note 2
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt fine sea salt
- ¾ cup Sprinkles divided, 120 g
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/ 180°C (fan oven 330°F/ 165°C). Line the baking sheets with parchment paper. If using a fan oven, you will be able to bake two baking sheets of cookies simultaneously.
- Cream butter and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes). Scrape the sides of the bowl halfway through and at the end.2 sticks unsalted butter / 225 g + 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar / 250 g
- Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and stir to combine well. Scrape the bowl again.1 large egg + 1 egg yolk + 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Add dry ingredients: Mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add them to the butter mixture and stir on low speed for about 30 seconds until combined.2 ½ cups all-purpose flour / 355 g + 2 teaspoons baking powder + ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- Fold in ½ cup/ 80 g of the sprinkles by hand using a spoon. Place the remaining ¼ cup of sprinkles into a small bowl.
- Form 16 cookie balls. Press the top of each cookie into the sprinkles in the bowl. If you still have sprinkles left over, take each cookie again and roll it again through the remaining sprinkles.
- Bake: Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets and bake them for 13-15 minutes until lightly golden brown around the edges.
- Let them rest on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Butter: Preferably unsalted, European-style butter with a high-fat content (82%).
- Measurements: Always use a digital kitchen scale in baking (the Amazon affiliate link opens in a new tab); it guarantees the best results. The recipe was tested using cup measuring, but I still prefer a scale.
- Baking times: Adjust the baking time accordingly, depending on your preference for chewiness or crispiness. Keep an eye on the cookies to avoid overbaking them.
- Chilling: Although general chilling is unnecessary, it is preferable to keep the second batch of dough balls refrigerated while the first batch is in the oven.
