Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  2. Step 2: Beat in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Step 3: Sift 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt into the wet ingredients, then mix on low speed until just combined with no dry streaks.
  4. Step 4: Fold in 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons sprinkles using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Step 5: Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart, then bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers feel set to the touch.
