Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar, packed
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Decorative Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (50 g) rainbow sprinkles (plus extra for rolling, optional)
Instructions
- Transform flour into a safe, edible base by dispersing it evenly on a baking tray, then subjecting it to high temperatures in the oven at 350F (175C) for precisely 5 minutes. Alternatively, use a microwave, heating in short 30-second bursts while stirring intermittently until the flour reaches a sanitized 165F (74C). Allow the flour to cool completely before proceeding.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, whip the softened butter together with granulated and brown sugars using an electric mixer. Blend at medium velocity until the mixture becomes airy and voluminous, approximately 2-3 minutes. Incorporate vanilla extract and salt, continuing to mix until thoroughly integrated.
- Gradually introduce the heat-sterilized flour into the creamy mixture. Modulate the texture by slowly adding milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough achieves a supple and malleable consistency.
- Gently fold rainbow sprinkles into the dough, ensuring an even distribution throughout the mixture for a vibrant, confetti-like appearance.
- Using a tablespoon, portion out the dough and roll between palms to create uniform spherical bites. For an extra festive touch, consider coating the exterior with additional sprinkles.
- Arrange the delicate dough spheres on a parchment-lined tray, then transfer to the refrigerator. Chill for 20-30 minutes to enhance structural integrity. Serve either directly from the refrigerator or allow to rest at ambient temperature.
Notes
- Heat-treat flour meticulously to eliminate potential bacteria, ensuring food safety without compromising the cookie dough’s delightful texture.
- Use room temperature butter for smoother mixing, creating a silky-soft dough that blends ingredients seamlessly and prevents lumpy consistency.
- Adjust milk quantity carefully to achieve the perfect dough texture, adding liquid incrementally to control moisture and prevent overly sticky or dry bites.
- Experiment with different sprinkle varieties like metallic, pastel, or themed sprinkles to customize the bites for special occasions or personal preferences.
