Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp clear vanilla extract
- ¼ cup rainbow sprinkles
- 1 cup white chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Dry Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Wet Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter and granulated sugar. Add the egg and clear vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.
- Combine: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles and white chocolate chunks.
- Scoop: Using a large cookie scoop (about 3-4 tablespoons), drop dough balls onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for 11-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. In the last 2 minutes, press extra white chocolate chunks and sprinkles on top of each cookie.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- To shape the cookies into perfect rounds, use a round cookie cutter slightly larger than the cookies after baking.
- For smaller cookies, use a 1-2 tablespoon scoop and bake for 8-10 minutes.
- If desired, swap the white chocolate for semi-sweet chocolate chips or add chopped nuts for added texture.
