Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar, packed
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Red and green sprinkles
• 1 cup White chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the white chocolate chips and most of the red and green sprinkles, reserving about 2 tablespoons of the sprinkles for topping.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Gently press a few of the reserved sprinkles on top of each dough ball to enhance the festive look.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look slightly underbaked, but they'll firm up as they cool.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve the cookies fresh with a glass of milk, or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Perfect for sharing the holiday spirit or leaving out for Santa!
