Who could say no to these sweet little cookies? - Photo: Food For The Soul
Nothing says ‘celebration’ like rainbow sprinkles! These simple sugar cookies are a fun addition to any party spread and are especially likely to be a hit with the kids.
Ingredients
Unsalted butter, softened ¼ cup (2oz/60g)
Caster sugar ½ cup
Egg 1, at room temperature
Plain flour ¾ cup
Baking powder ½ tsp
Baking soda ½ tsp
Rainbow sprinkles ¼ cup
Method
Add the butter, sugar and vanilla to a large mixing bowl, and beat on ‘high’ with an electric beater for about one minute. Add the egg and beat until well mixed. Sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and stir with a metal or wooden spoon. Add the sprinkles and stir to combine. Take heaped teaspoons of the cookie dough and roll into balls. Place the cookie dough balls (you should have about 20) in a plate or tray, and refrigerate for two to three hours.* Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake the cookies for nine to 10 minutes. Remove them from the oven and leave to cool on the baking tray for five to 10 minutes. Then place on a wire rack to cool completely.
*The cookie dough can be made up to two to three days in advance. Store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake. The more time it has to chill, the better.
Makes approximately 20 cookies
