The secret to these delightful cookies? It’s in the simple, yet high-quality ingredient list. You might even have everything you need right in your cupboard! So, let’s take a peek, shall we?
* 2 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour. This ingredient is the base of the cookies. It makes them fluffy, light and, well, cookie-like!
* 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Yes, this strange, white powder has a superpower. It makes our cookies rise and become wonderfully airy and crispy.
* Half a teaspoon of baking powder. It sounds similar to baking soda, doesn’t it? Although they seem identical, they perform slightly different roles in the baking world. Baking powder helps our cookies maintain their shape. And that, my friends, is essential for getting a perfect batch of sugar cookies!
* 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened. Butter is like a magical elixir in baking. It gives our cookies a rich flavor and luxuriously soft texture, plus it ensures that heavenly golden color.
* 1 and 1/2 cups of white sugar. Full of sweetness and sugary delight, this ingredient adds that unmistakable sugar cookie flavor we all crave.
* 1 egg. This one little ingredient packs quite a punch in the baking world. It binds all our ingredients together and gives the cookies their light, tender texture.
* Lots of rainbow sprinkles. Because what would Rainbow Sprinkle Sugar Cookies be without the sprinkles?
