Description

These fudgy chocolate sprinkle cookies have rich chocolate flavor, like brownies in cookie form. An easy recipe for any special occasion!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 tablespoons (170 grams) unsalted butter, melted (yields about 165 grams)
  • 1 cup (200 grams) white sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract 
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 large cold eggs (straight from the fridge)
  • 1 cup (100 grams) dutch process cocoa powder
  • 1 ¾ cups (200 grams) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • ¾ cup (125 grams) rainbow sprinkles 

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. After melting your butter and letting it cool for 10 minutes, cream it in your mixing bowl along with vanilla extract and sugars together for 2 minutes.
  3. Stop the mixer and add salt, baking powder, and baking soda as well as half of your eggs, cocoa powder, and flour. Mix for about 45 seconds on medium speed before stopping the mixer, scraping down the sides, and adding the remaining egg, cocoa powder, and flour, beating again for 30 seconds. 
  4. Add your sprinkles to the bowl. I like to set aside a a tablespoon or two of sprinkles to roll the cookie dough’s top into. Combine ingredients in mixing bowl until dough is fully incorporated.
  5. Scoop small (⅔ the size of a golf ball) round portions of your cookie dough onto ungreased aluminum baking sheets, with about 2 inches between each of them. Press your remaining mix-ins onto the cookie tops.
  6. Bake for 11-12 minutes. 
  7. Transfer cookies to cooling racks after they’ve sat on the baking sheets 10 or so minutes outside of the oven and are firm enough to handle.
