Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup (111g) salted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup (71g) powdered sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tbsp cake batter flavor
  • 2 cups (304g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1-3 tsp water
  • up to 1/2 cup Sprinkles

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine butter and powdered sugar until smooth in a mixer.
  3. Add egg and cake batter flavor, mixing until combined.
  4. Mix in flour, baking powder, salt, and up to 3 tsp water until dough forms.
  5. Fold in sprinkles until just combined.
  6. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thick and cut with a 2 1/2 inch circle cutter.
  7. Bake at 350°F for 7-9 minutes until matte and puffed.

Notes

- To achieve the perfect soft texture, ensure your butter is truly softened, not melted. It should yield easily to pressure.
- Don't overmix the dough once the flour is added; this can lead to tough cookies. Mix just until combined.
- For consistently sized cookies, use a cookie cutter and try to keep the dough thickness uniform. This ensures even baking.
