    How to Make Confetti Vanilla Cookie Delights

    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!

    Variations

    Chocolate Chip Cookies

    The most classic variation, simply fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough before baking.

    Double Chocolate Cookies

    Add cocoa powder to your base recipe and chocolate chips for a decadent chocolate experience.

    Salted Caramel Surprise

    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.

    Brown Butter Bliss

    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.

    Peanut Butter Swirl Cookies

    Swirl in peanut butter into the cookie dough for a nutty, creamy addition.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Ingredient Temperatures

    Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for even mixing and consistent dough, resulting in better texture and proper cookie spread.

    Don’t Overbake

    Cookies should be just golden around the edges and will continue to cook on the baking sheet after removal from the oven.

    Do Not Overmix

    Mix until just combined after adding dry ingredients to prevent developing the gluten and avoid tough cookies.

    Creaming Technique

    Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy to incorporate air into the dough, which is essential for a tender crumb.

    Quality Vanilla Extract

    Use high-quality pure vanilla extract, vanilla bean paste, or seeds from a vanilla pod for a more intense vanilla flavor.
