Ingredients
Scale
- 346 g (2 ⅔ cups) all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 226 g (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 250 g (1 ¼ cups) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 yolk, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 150 g (¾ cup) rainbow nonpareils
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C. Line two baking sheet pans with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Scrape down the bowl, add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, and beat until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix on medium-low speed until just combined.
- Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough, roll each cookie into a ball, then roll in the nonpareils until coated.
- Arrange the cookies on the prepared sheet pans, leaving 3 inches of space between each one.
- Bake for 11-12 minutes or until edges are just set and the centers look slightly puffed. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
