Ingredients
1 cup butter
1 and 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In bowl from stand mixer, fitted with paddle attachment, cream butter, granulated sugar,brown sugar and lemon zest until light and fluffy.
- Add in egg and vanilla extract and stir just until combined.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together all purpose flour, baking powder and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, beating at low speed on mixer.
- Stir in the sprinkles. I like to reserve a few and press a few into the tops of some of the cookies.
- Use a cookie scoop to measure and shape cookie dough into 1 and 1/2-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheets 2 inches apart.With clean hand, lightly press down cookie dough balls until they are flattened to 1/2-inch thick.
- Sprinkle the top of each cookie with turbinado sugar.
- Bake in 350°F oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Cookies will still be a little soft in the centre and edges should be set and lightly browned. Transfer to wire cooling racks. Enjoy!
