Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup colored sanding sugar
• 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips (for decoration)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball using your hands. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Step 7

Roll each dough ball in colored sanding sugar to coat evenly, then place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Using your thumb or the back of a teaspoon, gently press down in the center of each dough ball to create a small indentation.

Step 9

Place 4-5 mini chocolate chips in the center of each indentation to mimic the center of a blooming flower.

Step 10

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just set but the centers are still soft.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Once cooled, serve and enjoy your beautifully bloomed sugar cookies!
