1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon fine salt

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
09 -
1/2 cup sprinkles, or up to 2/3 cup as desired
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
02 -
In a medium bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside for later use.
03 -
Using a mixer with the paddle attachment, beat softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar on medium-low speed for 4 minutes until light and fluffy.
04 -
Blend in the large egg and pure vanilla extract until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
05 -
Add the sifted flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Fold in sprinkles gently to distribute evenly.
06 -
Portion the dough into 1.5-tablespoon-sized balls, using a small ice cream scoop for accuracy. Arrange on prepared baking sheets, spacing each about 2 inches apart.
07 -
Bake for 11 to 12 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden at the edges and centers remain soft. Adjust baking time as needed based on your oven and dough ball size.
08 -
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring them gently to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the best texture, do not overmix the dough after adding dry ingredients, and ensure cookies are slightly underbaked for a soft center.
