Description
Delicious and festive 4th of July sprinkle cookies perfect for celebrating the holiday!
Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (248g) all purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups sprinkles any color for any holiday or use rainbow
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silpat baking mats.
- Cream butter and sugar with a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or you may use a hand mixer). Once the mixture is creamed and fluffy, mix in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla until smooth, then mix in the baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
- Slowly mix in flour until the mixture is just combined, then stir in the sprinkles.
- Scoop balls of cookie dough 2 tablespoons each, and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the bottoms just start to turn golden brown. (These taste better if you err on the side of under rather than over done).
- Cool at least 5 minutes on cookie sheet before removing.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
Notes
- For best flavor, do not overbake the cookies.
- The cookies can be frozen for up to 1 month.
