Ingredients
Scale:
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup rainbow sprinkles
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup vanilla frosting
Extra sprinkles for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by stirring in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the rainbow sprinkles gently with a spatula.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Once cooled, spread a generous layer of vanilla frosting on top of each cookie and sprinkle with additional rainbow sprinkles.
