Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 piece Egg (large)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.5 cups Rainbow sprinkles
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the egg to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until fully incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold the rainbow sprinkles into the batter using a wooden spoon or spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden and the tops are set. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Optional: Once cooled, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and a fairy-like finish.
