Description
Delicious and chewy sprinkle cookies made with butter, sugars, and jimmies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar (firmly packed)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1–3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup jimmies sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a very large, microwave-safe bowl. Once melted, set aside for 5–10 minutes to cool to room temperature. Hot butter will melt the sugar and make the cookies greasy.
- Once butter is cooled to room temperature, stir in the light brown sugar and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth, about 1–2 minutes (the butter and sugars should fully incorporate). Take your time; it may seem like they won’t come together, but keep mixing until completely integrated. Stir in the egg, vanilla extract, and honey. Mix until smooth.
- Add the salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir to integrate. Add the correctly measured flour and mix until just combined (don’t overmix). Gently stir in the sprinkles. Cover the bowl tightly and chill for 90 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or use a nonstick liner. Roll dough balls (1 tablespoon (30g) in size) into tall, cylindrical balls. Place 6 cookie balls on the pan to give the cookies plenty of room to spread. Place the pan with the cookie balls in the freezer for 10 minutes (dough gets warm from being handled). Repeat with the rest of the cookie dough—you should get around 20–21 cookies from this dough.
- After 10 minutes in the freezer, bake for 8–12 minutes, erring on the side of underbaking to keep them soft and chewy. The cookies will bake a little more out of the oven, so take them out as soon as the edges start to lightly brown. Remove from oven and immediately press any edges that have strayed out a bit inward with the back of a metal spatula. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining dough until all the cookies are baked—or freeze some of the dough if you prefer.
Notes
- Note 1: Adjust flour measurement as necessary for desired dough consistency.
- Note 2: The type of sprinkles can affect the final look of cookies.
