Rainbow Chip Sugar Cookies

A soft sugar cookie full of rainbow baking chips and sprinkles.  The additional of butter extract and imitation vanilla (instead of pure vanilla extract), gives these cookies that yummy, store bakery taste.  But way better because these are homemade!

To make these cookies, obviously I used Rainbow Baking Chips (which I found at Wal-Mart).  If you want to use white chocolate chips instead, reduce the amount to 1/2 cup because the white chocolate chips are WAY sweeter than the rainbow chips.

Print Recipe
Serves: 30 cookies Cooking Time: 9-11 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2/3 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 egg yolks, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon butter extract (optional)
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons imitation vanilla extract (or regular vanilla extract)
  • 1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup rainbow baking chips
  • 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

1

In the bowl of a stand mixer, affixed with the paddle attachment, add the butter and both sugars. Mix on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs yolks and mix until incorporated. Add the butter extract and imitation vanilla. Mix until combined.

2

Turn the mixer to low speed and add the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cornstarch. Mix until barely combined.

3

Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a rubber scraper to ensure all the ingredients are incorporated. Fold in the rainbow chips and sprinkles.

4

Line three baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop standard sized cookie dough balls and place on the baking sheets. Refrigerate for one hour.

5

Once dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350-degrees and bake cookies, one baking sheet at a time for 9-11 minutes. Cookies may appear underdone, but they continue to set on the baking sheet. Allow cookies to cool and set on the cookie sheet for 30-minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Repeat process with remaining baking sheets of cookie dough balls.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. Cookies will stay soft and fresh for 7-10 days.

XOXO,
