Valentine's Day Sprinkle Cookies
Valentine's Day Sprinkle Cookies are the perfect treat for school parties. These cake-like sugar cookies are simply delcious!
Ingredients
Cookie dough
- 4 oz unsalted butter softened
- ¾ Cup sugar
- 1 Large egg
- 1 tablespoon clear vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ Teaspoon salt
- ½ Cup sour cream
- ½ Teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ cup all purpose flour
- ¼ Cup sprinkles
Sprinkles for decorating the tops of the cookies
- ½ Cup sprinkles
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine the baking soda and sour cream. Set aside until needed.
- In the bowl of a mixer, fitted with the paddle, cream together the butter and sugar, approximately 5 minutes. Until the mixture has become paler in color and is completely creamed.
- Next add in the salt, vanilla, baking powder and egg. Mix for 1 minute on medium speed. Add in the sour cream mixture and mix until fully combined.
- Finally, add in the flour and sprinkles and mix just until the flour is incorporated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat an oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a .5-ounce portion scoop, scoop out the cookies and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Gently press each cookie dough ball into the remaining sprinkles, flattening out the cookie slightly as your press. Place back on the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies are ready when the edges have just a hint of browning. Enjoy!
Notes
VERY IMPORTANT! This cookie dough needs to be chilled overnight in the refrigerator.
