Description

🌈 Recreate Costco’s iconic soft sprinkle cookies at homeβ€”pillowy sugar bliss topped with creamy almond icing and rainbow jimmies for bakery-fresh delight.
πŸͺ Massive portions perfect for parties or freezing, easy copycat yields professional results with simple ingredients, nostalgic treat without the store trip.


Ingredients

– 1 cup softened butter for rich tenderness and spread for that bakery texture

– 1.5 cups granulated sugar for sweetness and crisp edges

– 2 large eggs for structure, moisture, and chewiness

– 1 tsp vanilla extract for classic warm flavor

– 3 cups all-purpose flour for soft, sturdy base

– 1 tsp baking soda for proper rise and spread

– 1/2 tsp salt for balancing sweetness and enhancing taste

– 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles for colorful crunch inside


Instructions

1-First Step: Mise en Place and Preheat Start by preheating your oven to 350Β°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking. Soften 1 cup butter at room temperature for 20 minutes if needed. Measure all ingredients: 1.5 cups sugar, 2 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla, 3 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles. Having everything ready avoids rushed mixing and leads to uniform cookies.

2-Second Step: Cream Butter and Sugar In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the softened butter and sugar on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down sides midway for even creaming. This step incorporates air, creating that tender crumb. Look for a pale, creamy texture before adding wet ingredients.

3-Third Step: Add Eggs and Vanilla Crack in 2 eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Add 1 tsp vanilla extract and mix until smooth, about 1 minute. The batter may look curdled briefly, but it smooths out. Eggs bind everything for chewiness, mimicking the bakery’s signature bite.

4-Fourth Step: Incorporate Dry Ingredients Whisk together 3 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to wet mixture on low speed, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies soft. Dough will be thick and sticky.

5-Fifth Step: Fold in Sprinkles Gently fold in 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles with a spatula. Distribute evenly without crushing colors. Sprinkles add crunch and visual pop inside each cookie.

6-Sixth Step: Scoop and Shape Scoop 1/4-cup portions (about 3-4 tbsp each) for large bakery-size cookies. Place 2 inches apart on sheets. Flatten slightly with palm or glass bottom for even spread. Press extra sprinkles on tops for that iconic look.

7-Final Step: Bake, Cool, and Serve Bake 12-14 minutes until edges turn golden; centers stay pale for softness. Rotate sheets halfway. Cool on pans 5 minutes, then transfer to racks. Enjoy warm or store. Yields 12 perfect sugar cookies with frosting-like appeal from sprinkles.
