1. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
2. Cream Butter and Sugars
In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the unsalted butter, canola oil, sugar, and confectioners' sugar together for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
3. Add Egg and Vanilla
Add the egg and vanilla to the creamed mixture, beating until well combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
5. Chill the Dough
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
6. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
7. Prepare Dough Balls
Use a 2-ounce cookie scoop to portion the chilled dough, then roll each portion in the rainbow sprinkles until fully coated. Place the sprinkled dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets.
8. Bake Cookies
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Store Cookies
Store your Confetti Vanilla Cookie Delights in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy your colorful and delicious cookies!
The most classic variation, simply fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough before baking.
Add cocoa powder to your base recipe and chocolate chips for a decadent chocolate experience.
Before baking, press a small piece of soft caramel candy into the center of each cookie ball, and sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on top. The salted caramel will melt slightly, creating a gooey center with a balance of sweet and salty.
Instead of using regular softened butter, brown the butter beforehand until it has a nutty aroma and a golden-brown color. This will contribute a rich, caramel-like flavor to your cookies, enhancing their complexity.
Swirl in peanut butter into the cookie dough for a nutty, creamy addition.
Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for even mixing and consistent dough, resulting in better texture and proper cookie spread.
Cookies should be just golden around the edges and will continue to cook on the baking sheet after removal from the oven.
Mix until just combined after adding dry ingredients to prevent developing the gluten and avoid tough cookies.
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy to incorporate air into the dough, which is essential for a tender crumb.
Use high-quality pure vanilla extract, vanilla bean paste, or seeds from a vanilla pod for a more intense vanilla flavor.
