Level of Difficulty	Easy

Ingredients

• 2 3/4 cups plain flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup softened butter
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• Sprinkles

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare Dry Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC).

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the necessary amounts of flour, baking soda, and baking powder.

Stir well and set this dry mixture aside for later use.

Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

This step can be done using a hand mixer or a stand mixer.

Once smooth, add in the egg and vanilla extract, then beat again until fully incorporated.

Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the flour mixture from Step 1 into the butter-sugar mixture.

Beat the combined ingredients until a dough forms.

It may appear crumbly at first, but continue mixing until the dough comes together into a cohesive ball.

Step 4: Form and Flatten Cookie Dough

Using a 1-inch cookie dough scoop, scoop the dough and roll it into round balls with your hands.

Place these dough balls onto a greased baking sheet.

Using the smooth bottom of a glass, press each ball of dough down until they are about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 5: Add Sprinkles and Bake

Place some sprinkles in a small bowl.

Take each flattened piece of cookie dough and gently press it into the sprinkles, ensuring the top is well coated.

Return each piece of dough, sprinkle side up, to the baking sheet.

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 3 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Once cool, enjoy your delicious, homemade sprinkle-topped cookies!
