Sprinkle Sugar Cookie
Makes 1 (9-inch) cookie
Ingredients
- ¾ cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (110 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg (50 grams)
- 1 tablespoon (13 grams) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (127 grams) bread flour
- 1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons (10 grams) baking powder

- ⅓ cup (59 grams) plus 1 tablespoon (10 grams) rainbow sprinkles*, divided
- Buttercream (recipe follows)
- Garnish: sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter and flour a 9-inch springform pan; line bottom of pan with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugars at medium speed until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. Add egg, beating well. Beat in vanilla.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and nutmeg. With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating until combined. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in ⅓ cup (59 grams) sprinkles. Spread batter into prepared pan, smoothing top with an offset spatula. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon (10 grams) sprinkles.
- Bake until center is set and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 27 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove sides of pan, and let cool completely on base.
- Place half of Buttercream in a pastry bag fitted with a French star #4B tip. Place remaining Buttercream in a pastry bag fitted with a round #12 tip. Alternate piping stars and rounds around edge of cookie. Top with sprinkles, if desired.

*We used Betty Crocker Rainbow Sprinkles.
PRO TIP: Gently folding in the sprinkles is important to minimize breakage and bleeding during baking.
