Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- In a medium size bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugars together until light & fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla and beat until fully incorporated.
- Scrape down the bowl, then add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix!
- Gently fold in the sprinkles.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop out the cookie dough and place on one baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze the cookie dough for 15 minutes.
- Toward the end of the freeze time, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Divide cookie dough up between two baking sheets placed about two inches apart. Bake cookies for 14-16 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet.
Notes
You can skip over the freeze time and bake them right away for 1-2 minutes less. They may loose their textured top, but they'll still be delicious! Do not over-mix the dough when you add the flour! Over-mixing leads to tough, dry cookies. Use a cookie scoop to get 10-12 perfectly seized cookies! Do not roll them with your hands or they'll lose their textured top. Only use traditional-style sprinkles! Any other type of sprinkles will melt or bleed into the dough.
