Description
Delightful and colorful sugar cookies that evoke the warmth of family traditions and shared moments in the kitchen.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup butter (room temperature)
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg (room temperature)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add in the vanilla extract and egg, mixing until just combined.
- Gradually add in cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour, mixing until well incorporated.
- Add in rainbow sprinkles and mix on low until evenly distributed.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop about 2 ½ tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared pan, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and chill the dough balls for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper again.
- Arrange 5-6 dough balls on the baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are just set.
- If desired, use a round cookie cutter to shape them while they are still warm. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra softness, add a slice of bread to the container when storing cookies. These cookies can be frozen for future baking.
