Ingredients

- Baking powder1
- Salt¼ tsp
- Butter · softened½ cups
- Sugar¾ cups
- Egg1
- Vanilla1 tsp
- Sprinkles · plus more for topping½ cups
Instructions
- Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Beat the softened butter and sugar on medium-high speed for about 1 minute until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat on high speed for about 1 minute until combined. Scrape down the bowl and beat again as needed.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet on low speed until combined. Fold in ½ cup (80 g) sprinkles. The dough will be thick and sticky.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons (40 g) portions of dough and roll into balls. Optionally, dip the tops lightly in extra sprinkles, then place on a plate or lined tray.
- Chill the dough balls for at least 2 hours, and up to 4 days.
- Preheat the oven to 177°C (350°F) and line baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats.
- Space the chilled dough balls 3 inches (7.5 cm) apart on the sheets and bake for 12–13 minutes, until lightly browned at the edges. The centres will look very soft.
- Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 1 week.
