Ingredients

• 170 grams unsalted butter, melted
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams light brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 piece large egg
• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 80 grams rainbow sprinkles (jimmies)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhangs for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and egg to the bowl. Whisk again until the mixture is fully incorporated and creamy.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the rainbow sprinkles gently to ensure they are evenly distributed without breaking.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan and press it down into an even layer using a spatula or clean hands.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set. Do not overbake to maintain a soft texture.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 9

Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhangs. Cut into 16 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
