- In the bowl of your KitchenAid with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar on medium until light and fluffy for 1-2 minutes.
- Beat in the egg,
- then the vanilla.
- With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients a little at a time, beating until just combined.
- Chill cookie dough for 10minutes. Using a small cookie scoop, make a ball of cookie dough and then roll it into sprinkles
- and place it on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for about 8 minutes (rotating your cookie sheet(s) halfway) or until the edges of the cookies are set. The centers may look a bit underdone – but they will finish baking on the cookie sheet.
