Ingredients

1 cup butter salted
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
halloween sprinkles

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
In your stand mixer bowl or a large bowl and a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes of beating - don't skimp on this step!
Add the egg and vanilla and beat again until the color of the batter lightens.
In a medium mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and whisk to combine. Add to the creamed mixture and mix until combined.
Scoop the dough, about 2 tablespoons at a time and roll the top and sides into your halloween sprinkles. Try not to get a lot of sprinkles on the bottom of the dough ball that will touch the pan because they can melt and burn.
Place dough balls onto your prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until they slightly crack on top. Don't over bake if you want a soft and chewy sugar cookie!
Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 3-4 minutes and then transfer to a cooking rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. Enjoy!
