Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Gel food coloring (various colors)
- Edible rainbow glitter or sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
- Divide the dough into equal portions. Add gel food coloring to each portion and knead until the color is evenly distributed.
- Roll each colored dough portion into small balls. Arrange them next to each other and press gently to form a log with all colors. Roll to smooth out seams and elongate slightly.
- Pour edible rainbow glitter or sprinkles onto a clean surface. Roll the dough log in the glitter or sprinkles, pressing gently to adhere.
- Wrap the dough log in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
- Once chilled, slice the dough log into rounds about 1/4-inch thick. Place on prepared baking sheets, spacing them apart.
- Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, serve and indulge in these vibrant and sparkly Rainbow Sparkle Sugar Cookies!
