Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 320 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Add the softened butter to a mixing bowl and beat until light and creamy – about three minutes.
  • Next, pour in the sweetened condensed milk and beat into the butter for two minutes.
  • Beat in the vanilla extract.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat again for another minute or two.
  • Finally, add the flour and baking powder. Beat into the butter and milk mixture until mixed through.
  • Add the sprinkles and beat lightly just to combine.
  • Using a 2 tablespoon sized cookie scoop, portion the dough into mounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Be sure to leave at least two inches between each mound of cookie dough.
  • Bake for 12 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and leave them to cool slightly on the pan for five minutes.
  • Finally, remove from the baking sheet and transfer to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.

Notes

This is an easy recipe and comes together very quickly. The first thing you want to ensure before you get started is that the butter is at room temperature. I cannot stress how important this is! If the butter is not completely softened, you will not get a dough to form with a consistency that will pack together well. The butter must be soft, but not melted, so do not put it in the microwave to soften it. Leave butter at room temperature for 3-5 hours or even overnight!
