Birthday Cookies Recipe – Easy and Festive Treats

🎉🍪 Birthday Cookies 🍪🎉

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup colorful sprinkles (rainbow jimmies)
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugars:
   In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla:
   Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in Sprinkles and Chocolate Chips:
   Gently fold in the sprinkles and white chocolate chips (if using) using a spatula.
7. Scoop the Dough:
   Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion the dough into rounded balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake the Cookies:
   Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but soft.
9. Cool and Enjoy:
   Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
