Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup (227 g) salted butter still a bit firm
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (110 g) brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) salt
  • ½ cup (43 g) cocoa powder
  • 2 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (80 g) rainbow jimmie sprinkles for rolling cookies in

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder and flour. Set aside.
  • Place the butter and sugars in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add egg, yolk and vanilla and mix on low until smooth, about 30 seconds.
  • Slowly mix in dry ingredients, being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl.
  • Scoop the dough into large balls, I like to use a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop for these. Roll the tops of the cookies in the sprinkles.
  • Place 6 cookie dough balls on your lined baking sheet. Bake the cookies for 11-13 minutes. You're looking for some crackling along the top. Allow to cool on the baking sheet so they can finish setting up.

Notes

Jimmie sprinkles are the best for baking because the colors won't bleed
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don't have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
