Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a large bowl beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  5. Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix on low speed until just combined.
  6. Fold in rainbow sprinkles and white chocolate chips.
  7. Cover dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon balls and place on baking sheet 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set and centers are slightly soft.
  11. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Chilling the dough helps create thicker, chewier cookies. Use rainbow jimmies instead of nonpareils to prevent the colors from bleeding into the dough.
