Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups (285g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups (420g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon (2g) baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon (2g) cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.2g) salt
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
- Gel colors (Pink, Royal Blue, and Violet)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F (175° C). Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Combine butter and sugar in a bowl and beat on medium speed until creamed together. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, beating on medium-low speed until a dough forms. Fold in the sprinkles.
- Divide the dough into four equal portions. Leave one portion uncolored, and dye the remaining portions with pink, royal blue, and violet gel colors. Mix gently.
- Place all four dough portions into a large bowl and lightly mix by hand or with a spoon to create a tie-dye effect. Avoid overmixing.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough into balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar or extra sprinkles and place them on the baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
