Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Pop Tart crumbs (optional)
- Sprinkles (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup later.
- In a large bowl, beat together softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy—about 3-5 minutes should do it.
- Incorporate eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. The batter should look smooth and creamy.
- In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed. Gradually add this dry mix into your wet ingredients.
- If using Pop Tart crumbs or any other add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, gently fold them into your cookie dough without overmixing.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls onto prepared baking sheets. Bake in preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
- Allow them to cool slightly before transferring them onto wire racks.
