Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
Decorative Ingredients:
- 2 cups Halloween sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by setting the temperature to 350°F and arranging silicone mats or parchment paper on two baking sheets.
- Create a smooth, homogeneous mixture by vigorously blending butter, sugar, and eggs until they form a creamy consistency.
- Separately combine flour, baking powder, and salt, ensuring even distribution of dry ingredients through thorough whisking.
- Carefully incorporate the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just integrated, avoiding overmixing.
- Pour Halloween sprinkles into a wide, shallow container for efficient coating.
- Utilize a cookie scoop to portion uniform dough balls, then meticulously roll each portion through the sprinkles, ensuring complete coverage.
- Arrange sprinkle-coated dough balls on prepared baking sheets, maintaining approximately 2 inches of spacing between each cookie.
- Position the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for firm, slightly golden edges as an indication of doneness.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to stabilize their structure.
- Transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack, permitting them to reach complete room temperature before serving or storing.
Notes
- Swap regular sprinkles with dietary-specific options like vegan or gluten-free sprinkles to accommodate different nutritional needs.
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for smoother, more evenly mixed cookie dough that ensures consistent texture.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling in sprinkles to prevent spreading and maintain cookie shape during baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking and maintain sprinkle crispness.
