Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Flavor and Binding Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Decorative and Mix-in Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- Extra rainbow sprinkles
- Edible glitter (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Cream butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy using an electric mixer, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture, blending until smooth and fully combined.
- Separately whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl to distribute leavening agents evenly throughout the dough.
- Slowly integrate dry ingredients into wet mixture on low speed, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender cookie texture.
- Fold rainbow sprinkles and white chocolate chips gently into the dough, ensuring even distribution for consistent flavor and color.
- Form tablespoon-sized dough balls, rolling each in additional rainbow sprinkles for extra color and visual appeal.
- Arrange dough balls on prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart to allow proper spreading during baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges turn light golden, keeping centers slightly soft for a chewy consistency.
- Allow cookies to rest on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.
- Optional: Dust cookies with edible glitter for a magical, shimmering finishing touch that enhances the whimsical unicorn theme.
Notes
- Softening butter properly ensures smooth, even mixing and helps create a light, fluffy cookie texture that melts in your mouth.
- Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough, dense cookies by stopping just when ingredients are combined and no dry flour remains visible.
- Rolling dough balls in extra sprinkles creates a vibrant, eye-catching exterior that enhances the playful “unicorn poop” aesthetic and adds extra crunch.
- Edible glitter transforms these cookies from delicious to magical, making them perfect for birthday parties, kid’s events, or whimsical dessert displays.
