| Cooking Time | 12-13 minutes |
| Total Time | 22-28 minutes |

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- Colorful sugar sprinkles
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
This ensures that the oven reaches the right temperature by the time your cookies are ready to bake.
Step 2: Prepare the Cookie Dough
In a large bowl, add butter and sugar.
Use an electric mixer to cream them together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Next, add an egg and vanilla extract, and continue to mix until well combined.
Then, add in baking powder and flour, mixing until a smooth cookie dough forms.
Step 3: Prepare the Cookie Sheets
Spray your cookie sheets with nonstick spray to prevent the cookies from sticking.
Rip off large tablespoon-sized pieces of dough and roll them into balls with your hands.
Place the dough balls on the prepared cookie sheets, leaving some space between them.
Using a fork, gently press down on each cookie to flatten it slightly.
Sprinkle the tops with sugar sprinkles to add a touch of sweetness and color.
Step 4: Bake the Cookies
Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12-13 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are lightly browned.
Keep an eye on them, as baking times can vary depending on your oven.
Step 5: Cool and Enjoy
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the cookie sheets for a few minutes.
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your freshly baked cookies!
