These Rainbow Sprinkle Sugar Cookies are a delightful treat, perfect for any celebration or just to brighten your day.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
Whisking helps to evenly distribute the baking powder and salt.
In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is mixed evenly.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Stir in the milk and fold in the sprinkles gently.
Gently folding prevents the sprinkles from breaking and bleeding color.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized cookies.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Keep an eye on the cookies to avoid overbaking.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on the baking sheets helps the cookies set properly.
Serve the cookies on a platter and enjoy with your favorite beverage.
These cookies pair wonderfully with a glass of milk or a cup of tea.
