| Preparation Time | 20-30 minutes |
| Cooking Time | 15-18 minutes |
| Total Time | 35-48 minutes |
| Level of Difficulty | Medium |
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 6 ounces chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Red, white, and green sprinkles
Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients and Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Set aside for later.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugar
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter and sugar.
Beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy.
This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
Then, beat in the egg and both the vanilla and almond extracts until well combined.
Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the flour mixture you prepared earlier to the creamed butter mixture.
Do this in three separate batches, mixing just until blended to avoid overworking the dough.
Step 4: Form and Chill the Dough
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using a teaspoon, drop heaping mounds of cookie dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to help the cookies hold their shape while baking.
Step 5: Bake the Cookies
Once the dough is chilled, bake the cookies in your preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn brown.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool for several minutes on the sheets to firm up.
Then, transfer the parchment paper with cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Step 6: Decorate with Chocolate and Sprinkles
While the cookies are cooling, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl.
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate into a small plastic squeeze bottle, then drizzle it over the cooled cookies.
Finally, add red, white, and green sprinkles to the tops of the cookies for a festive touch.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Allow the chocolate drizzle to set before serving.
Enjoy your decorated cookies as a delicious treat to share with family and friends!
