Ingredients
230 gram Butter-softened, about 1 cup
.5 cup Sugar
1 pack Rainbow sprinkles of your choice-to coat
2 cups Plain flour
1.5 tsp Baking powder
.75 tsp Vanilla extract
3 tbsp Evaporated milk
.5 tsp Salt
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 160 degrees. We know, it seems low, but that’s what makes these cookies so soft. Also prepare a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
- Using an electric hand mixture cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy.
- Add the flour, salt, baking powder, vanilla and evaporated milk and continue to run the electric mixer through it. Don’t worry if the mixture looks crumbly, this is absolutely how it should look.
- Pour your sprinkles out into a shallow bowl. Then, with clean hands, roll the cookie dough into small balls about the size of a heaped teaspoon. Then roll these balls into your sprinkles until they’re coated as much as you prefer and lay on your baking tray. Keep making the balls until all the dough is gone.
- Using a spoon gently flatten each of the balls on the tray.
- Bake for around 20 minutes, and allow to cool for 15 minutes before digging in. Store the remaining cookies in an airtight container.
