These soft and chewy birthday cake sprinkle cookies require no chilling, making them perfect for quick baking and last-minute celebrations. The colorful sprinkles add a festive touch to every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (110 g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 g) rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in pure vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently with a spatula until no visible flour remains.
  6. Gently fold in rainbow sprinkles using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Use a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls (about 1 ½ tablespoons each) onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden but centers still look soft.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use softened butter, not melted, for best texture. Fold sprinkles in gently to avoid color bleeding. If dough is sticky, chill for 10 minutes before scooping. Do not overbake; cookies should look slightly underdone when removed from oven. Store cookies in airtight container with parchment paper between layers for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
