Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon holiday sprinkles
Topping
- 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 6 cups powdered sugar
- Holiday sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together ½ cup softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to combine thoroughly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, blending until a soft dough forms.
- Add Sprinkles: Gently fold in 1 tablespoon of holiday sprinkles to the dough, ensuring an even distribution without overmixing, to preserve the soft texture.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up, making it easier to shape and bake.
- Shape and Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
- Prepare the Frosting: While cookies bake, beat 2 sticks softened butter in a large bowl until creamy. Gradually add 6 cups powdered sugar, beating continuously until smooth and fluffy.
- Cool and Frost: Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before spreading a generous layer of the frosting on top.
- Decorate: Sprinkle additional holiday sprinkles over the frosting for a festive finish. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened at room temperature for easier creaming.
- Chilling the dough is important to prevent cookies from spreading too much while baking.
- Use fresh holiday sprinkles for the best color and texture impact.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of softened butter in the dough.
