Equipment

Baking sheet
Mixing bowls
Measuring spoons
Scale/measuring cups
Spatula
Whisk
Wire cooling rack
Large cookie scoop about 3-4 tablespoon capacity

Ingredients

2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour weighed in grams or spooned and leveled
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons (140 g) unsalted butter room temperature
½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar packed
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
1 large egg room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup sprinkles

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes on medium speed). Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined. Fold in the sprinkles.
Scoop large cookie dough balls onto a baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake on the middle rack until the edges just begin to tan (9-11 minutes).
Let the sprinkle cookies cool on the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

Sprinkles: Jimmies (long, cylindrical sprinkles) work best since their colors don't tend to bleed as much as nonpareils (tiny, round sprinkles).

Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Cookie dough balls can be frozen and baked 1 month later.
