Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda

- ¼ cup white chocolate chips (optional)
- Frosting:

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Add wet ingredients: Mix in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture until just combined.
- Fold in fun: Gently stir in rainbow sprinkles and optional white chocolate chips.
- Shape and bake: Scoop dough onto prepared sheets, flatten slightly, and bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden. Let cool completely.
- Make the frosting: Beat butter until smooth, add powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream, whipping until fluffy.
- Decorate: Frost cooled cookies, then top with sprinkles or raspberries. Serve and celebrate!
Notes
For bakery-style cookies, chill the dough for 15 minutes before baking. To make them gluten-free, use a 1:1 GF flour blend. For a vegan version, swap butter for plant-based butter and eggs for a flax egg.
