How To Make These Confetti Sugar Cookies
- Let's start with the room temperature butter. This recipe does not use any eggs, so the butter has to be at room temperature to make the batter moist and mixable.
- Most cookie recipes start with beating sugar and butter, this recipe has the same first step. Beat the soft butter and sugar until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Using a rubber spatula, add the flour and make sure the flour is spooned and leveled. Too much flour makes hard cookies. Do not overmix.
- Add the clear vanilla extract. We want these confetti sugar cookies to be as bright as possible.
- Make small balls of the dough and roll each in the fine granulated sugar, then place them on the baking sheet. Leave at least a 2-inch space between them.
- Put some sprinkles on each ball, and withe a flat bottom glass or measuring cup, press each ball down to make a small disc. The thickness should be about ¼ of an inch. If you press the dough too much, the cookies will be too thin and will not be as soft.
- Set your oven to 325 and bake them for 15 minutes.
Disclaimer: I highly recommend using the measurements in grams & ml (instead of cups & spoons) for more accuracy and better results.
