Description
Delicious white chocolate cookies topped with colorful nonpareil sprinkles.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup salted butter (room temperature, or unsalted if preferred)
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg (room temperature)
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup nonpareil sprinkles
- 10 oz Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers (or other white chocolate, melted)
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter and sugar on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add in vanilla and the egg and mix until just combined.
- While the mixer is on low, add in the corn starch, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour until everything is incorporated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a medium sized cookie dough scoop (about 2 ½ tablespoons of dough per cookie), scoop onto the baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and chill the dough balls for 30 minutes. Do not skip this step!
- Toward the end of the chilling process, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and arrange 5-6 dough balls about 2 inches apart as these cookies will spread!
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookie are just set. They may seem underdone but they will be perfect!
- Remove from the oven and if you want perfect circular cookies, use a round cookie cutter larger than the cookie to scoot them into a round shape.
- Let them cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a cookie rack to cool completely.
- Melt wafers or white chocolate according to package directions. Dip the bottoms of the cooled cookies into the chocolate, letting it come slightly up the sides.
- Immediately press into a shallow bowl of nonpareils so the whole bottom is covered. Place on parchment until set; this usually takes 3-5 minutes.
- Serve & enjoy!
Notes
- Chilling the dough is a crucial step for the texture of the cookies.
- Using a round cookie cutter after baking helps achieve a uniform shape.
