How to make sprinkle sugar cookies

The base for this recipe is a basic sugar cookie dough. Flour, baking powder, salt, butter, sugar, egg, egg yolk and vanilla. The ratio of ingredients creates the absolute perfectly chewy sugar cookie—soft and thick with a buttery consistency.

To make the dough, whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla , and mix until combined. Finally, mix in the dry ingredients (avoid over mixing). Stir in the sprinkles last.
