🍪 Cookie Zaddy 🍪

Ingredients

• • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• • 1 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for rolling)
• • 1 large egg
• • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
• • ½ teaspoon baking powder
• • ½ teaspoon salt
• • Sprinkles (optional, but we added them!)

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or grease it lightly).
2. 2 In a large bowl, use an electric mixer (or a spoon) to cream together the softened butter and 1 cup sugar until it's light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
3. 3 Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined.
4. 4 In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. 5 Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined (don't overmix!).
6. 6 Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough, roll them in extra granulated sugar to coat, and place on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
7. 7 Add sprinkles on top before baking (we did this on most of ours!).
8. 8 Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden (the centers will look soft—that's okay, they'll firm up).
9. 9 Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then move to a rack to cool completely.
