Ingredients

Scale
  • Dry Ingredients:
    • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Wet Ingredients:
    • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
    • 2 large eggs
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Colorful Additions:
    • ½ cup rainbow sprinkles
    • ½ cup mini M&Ms
    • 2 tablespoons beet powder (optional, for natural red coloring)
    • 2 teaspoons matcha powder (optional, for natural green coloring)
    • Edible glitter for decoration

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  • Combine Ingredients:
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined.
  • Add Colorful Ingredients:
    • Divide the dough if using multiple natural colorings, then mix in beet powder or matcha. Alternatively, fold in sprinkles and M&Ms evenly.
  • Shape and Bake:
    • Scoop the dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
    • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Decorate:
    • Once cooled, top with edible glitter or additional sprinkles for extra flair.

Notes

  • To prevent color bleeding from sprinkles, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Substitute natural food coloring with gel colors for more vibrant results.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness and colors.
