Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Cream of Tartar
Sugars
- ¾ cup Confectioners’ Sugar (powdered sugar)
- ½ cup Brown Sugar (firmly packed)
- ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 2 Eggs
- ⅔ cup Butter (softened)
- 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
Add-ins
- ⅓ cup Sprinkles
- ½ cup Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking these cookies evenly.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar until well mixed. This will provide the structural base for the cookies.
- Mix Sugars: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to combine their flavors uniformly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Using a hand mixer on medium to high speed, beat the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients and Add-ins: Using a wooden spoon, gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Then fold in the sprinkles and chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Portion the Cookies: Use a cookie scoop to evenly portion the cookie dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, spacing them out to prevent sticking during baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden while the centers remain soft.
- Cool and Store: Transfer the baked cookies to cooling racks to cool completely. Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For softer cookies, bake closer to 10 minutes; for a firmer texture, extend to 12 minutes.
- Ensure the butter is softened, not melted, to achieve the right dough consistency.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate according to your preference.
- Sprinkles add a festive touch; choose your favorite type or skip if desired.
- For best results, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to reduce spreading (optional).
