Drop Style Christmas (or anytime) Sugar Cookies

I made these back at Christmas time, very tasty! And perfect soft texture. 10/10.  You could make with different sprinkles to be "anytime" cookies.  And these are large cookies, FYI.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 T. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. unsalted butter, softened
3/4 c. sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 c. sprinkles, plus more for topping

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.  Set aside.

2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar together on medium speed.

3. Beat in egg and vanilla.

4. Gradually mix in reserved dry ingredients until well combined, then mix in sprinkles.  Dough should be thick/sticky consistency.

5. Scoop dough in 2 T. portions and roll into balls.  Toss balls in extra sprinkles to coat all over.  Place balls on a plate and cover.  Transfer to fridge and let chill for 2 hours.  (I think I just chilled the dough without forming in balls first, though.)

6. Heat oven to 350°F.  Line baking sheets with parchment.

7. Place dough balls 3" apart on prepared baking sheets and flatten each slightly.  Bake for 11-12 min, or until edges are lightly browned.  Centers will still look very soft.

8. After removing from oven, let cookies rest on sheet for 5 min., then transfer to cooling rack.  Enjoy!
