Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt using an electric mixer. Beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even incorporation.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a large cookie scoop or 1/4 cup measure, portion out the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Space the cookies about 3 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Slightly flatten each cookie dough ball with the palm of your hand, ensuring a thick, rounded shape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Sprinkle additional rainbow sprinkles on top of the warm cookies for extra color and festivity.
Tips
- Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this creates the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough cookies. Mix just until ingredients are incorporated.
- Use a large cookie scoop for consistently sized, bakery-style giant cookies.
- For extra indulgence, slightly underbake the cookies to keep them soft and chewy in the center.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and soft texture.
- For maximum sprinkle impact, add some extra sprinkles on top of the cookies while they're still warm.
