Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (1 stick)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- a pinch salt (optional)
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream (only if necessary for dough consistency)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Add the tablespoon of vanilla extract to the butter and sugars, mixing until well incorporated. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and sprinkles. If the dough seems too dry, you can add a tablespoon of milk or cream to achieve the desired consistency.
- Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes. This will help the flavors meld and make it easier to scoop.
- Once chilled, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- These cookie dough balls can be enjoyed immediately or stored in the refrigerator for later.
