Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • ½ cup butter (softened to room temperature)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg (at room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar

Add-ins

  • ½ cup sprinkles
  • ⅓ cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Cream the butter: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter using a paddle attachment or hand mixer on medium speed for about 1 minute until smooth.
  2. Add sugar and mix: Add granulated sugar to the butter and continue creaming until the mixture is fluffy.
  3. Incorporate egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg thoroughly, then add the vanilla extract and mix well.
  4. Scrape the bowl: Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl to ensure all ingredients are well combined, then set aside.
  5. Whisk dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cream of tartar.
  6. Combine dry and wet ingredients: Turn the mixer back on to low speed and slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
  7. Fold in sprinkles and chips: Turn off the mixer and gently fold in the sprinkles and white chocolate chips by hand to evenly distribute them without breaking.
  8. Scoop dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out 2 tablespoon-sized dough balls onto parchment-lined baking sheets, arranging 6 per sheet. You should end up with 15-16 cookies.
  9. Chill dough: Refrigerate the baking sheets with cookie dough balls for at least 1 hour. This step reduces spreading during baking for thicker cookies.
  10. Preheat oven and bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 12 to 13 minutes until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
  11. Cool cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 to 4 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will appear soft and tender once fully cooled. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Chilling the dough is critical to prevent excessive spreading and achieve a thicker, chewier cookie.
  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and even baking.
  • You can substitute the white chocolate chips with regular chocolate chips if preferred.
  • Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For crispier cookies, bake an additional 1-2 minutes but watch closely to avoid overbaking.
