Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Essential for the cookie's rise.
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt Use sea salt for a different taste profile.
  • 1 cup unsalted butter If using salted butter, reduce added salt.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar Can be substituted with coconut sugar for a lower glycemic index, but texture may vary.
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar May substitute with an equal amount of granulated sugar, but texture will be less soft.
  • 1 large egg For an egg-free variant, try 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce or 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water.
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract Almond extract can be used for a varied flavor profile.
  • 3/4 cup sprinkles Choose any color theme suited for the occasion; avoid sprinkles that bleed during baking.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and fine salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing on low until just combined.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and gently fold in the sprinkles.
  6. Portion the dough into 1.5 tablespoon balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 11 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
