Galletas de azúcar con sprinkles

Ingredientes

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 large egg white
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup sprinkles
• Additional granulated sugar, for rolling dough balls

Preparación

1. 1

   Prep the oven and baking sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.

2. 2

   Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.

3. 3

   Add egg white and vanilla: Mix in the egg white and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, which adds moisture and flavor to the cookie dough.

4. 4

   Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt throughout the flour.

5. 5

   Mix dry ingredients into wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough and creating tough cookies.

6. 6

   Fold in sprinkles: Gently fold the sprinkles into the dough, distributing them evenly without bleeding their color excessively.

7. 7

   Shape and coat dough balls: Scoop approximately tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Then, roll each ball in additional granulated sugar to coat the outside, which adds extra sweetness and a slight crunch.

8. 8

   Bake: Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until just set around the edges but still soft in the center.

9. 9

   Cool cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up without breaking.
