Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup (65 g) white granulated sugar
- 1 cup (124 g) plain flour
Step 1: Prepare for Baking
Preheat your oven to 325°F.
Line a large cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to ensure the cookies do not stick and make for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, add the butter and sugar.
Beat at the highest speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
During this process, you’ll need to stop and scrape the sides of your bowl with a spatula a few times to ensure the butter mixture gets beaten properly and evenly.
Step 3: Incorporate Dry Ingredients
Gradually add in the flour to the butter and sugar mixture.
Begin by mixing on low speed until the flour is completely incorporated and the dough looks crumbly.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed because the butter tends to stick.
Once the flour is mixed in, increase the speed to medium.
Continue mixing until the dough clumps together into one cohesive mixture.
It should start looking less crumbly as you mix.
Step 4: Shape the Cookies
Use a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out the dough.
Place each scoop onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
You should end up with roughly 12 cookies.
Take each dough piece and roll it between your palms to form a ball shape.
Then, use the palm of your hand to flatten each dough ball into a thick disk, about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 5: Add Sprinkles and Bake
If you’re adding sprinkles or nonpareils, sprinkle them over the surface of each cookie.
Gently press them lightly into the dough so they stay in place but do not need to be fully embedded.
Bake the cookies for about 15-16 minutes or until the edges start to brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet before removing them to ensure they set properly.
