# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

04 - 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
05 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

→ Mix-ins

09 - 1 cup pastel-colored sprinkles

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt until well blended. Set aside.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
04 - Add eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract until incorporated.
05 - Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
06 - Gently fold in sprinkles and white chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
07 - Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving approximately 2 inches of space between each cookie.
08 - Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are set and centers appear slightly underbaked for optimal texture.
09 - Remove from oven and let cookies rest on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They capture pure celebration in every bite, like edible confetti that somehow tastes even better than they look
  • The dough comes together in one bowl, making them perfect for last minute holiday baking with kids who want to help
  • Soft and buttery with just the right amount of sweetness, they appeal to both the children and the adults who secretly still love sprinkles
02 -
  • Overbaking is the enemy of soft cookies, so pull them out when the edges look done even if the centers seem underbaked
  • Room temperature ingredients are not optional here because cold butter creates a greasy, flat cookie that spreads too much
  • Jimmies hold their shape and color during baking while nonpareils dissolve into sad little dots that make your cookies look speckled
03 -
  • Press a few extra sprinkles onto the tops of the dough balls before baking for cookies that look as festive as they taste
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes if your kitchen is warm to prevent the cookies from spreading too thin
