Instructions
Mix the Dough
Beat the softened butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined. Gradually stir in the flour until a soft dough forms.
Shape the Cookies
Roll the dough into small balls about 1 inch in size. Pour the rainbow sprinkles into a shallow bowl and roll each dough ball through the sprinkles until fully coated on all sides.
Bake the Cookies
Place the sprinkle-coated dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are just set and the centers look slightly underdone.
Cool and Serve
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. The cookies will firm up as they cool and become perfectly chewy.
