Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 3 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Topping
- 1 cup orange and black sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream together the room temperature butter and granulated sugar for about two minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, mixing until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until the dough forms and is fully incorporated. The dough will be sticky at this point.
- Coat Dough with Sprinkles: Pour the orange and black sprinkles into a separate bowl. Scoop portions of the cookie dough and roll them in the sprinkles until completely coated. Reshape each coated dough ball before placing on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Arrange Cookies: Place the dough balls on the cookie sheets, limiting to about eight cookies per sheet as they will spread during baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven at 350°F for 10 minutes. The cookies should be set and lightly golden at the edges.
- Cool and Store: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the pan. Store in an airtight container to keep fresh for 2 to 3 days.
Notes
- Ensure butter is at room temperature for easy creaming and better cookie texture.
- Do not overcrowd the cookie sheet, as cookies spread during baking.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before transferring to containers to prevent sogginess.
- You can substitute sprinkles with other festive colors or even chocolate chips for variety.
