→ Ingredients
01 -
420g of all-purpose flour
02 -
2 tablespoons of smooth honey
03 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 -
2 large eggs
05 -
240g of unsalted butter, melted and cooled a bit
06 -
½ teaspoon salt
07 -
1 teaspoon baking powder
08 -
1 teaspoon baking soda
09 -
130g of granulated sugar
10 -
120g of light brown sugar
11 -
80g of rainbow sprinkles (plus extra for decorating the tops)
# Instructions:
01 -
Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Stir until blended.
02 -
Grab a big mixing bowl and whisk the cooled, melted butter together with the white sugar and brown sugar. Crack in the eggs, pour in the vanilla, and stir in the honey. Mix well.
03 -
Gradually add the dry mix to the wet mixture in a few batches. Stir everything together until it’s fully combined. Toss in the sprinkles and make sure they’re evenly spread throughout the dough.
04 -
Scoop out portions of the dough with an ice cream scoop and line them up on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Wrap the tray with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for an hour. When you're ready to bake, pull it out and let it lose some of the chill before baking.
05 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Get two baking sheets and line them with parchment paper.
06 -
Space the cookie dough balls out on the prepared baking sheets so they have room to spread. Sprinkle some extra rainbow sprinkles on top for a festive look.
07 -
Bake for about 8–10 minutes, or until the edges look set but the middle's still soft and gooey. Take the trays out and give them a gentle tap on the counter to flatten the cookies. Sprinkle a bit more sprinkles over the tops while they're still warm. Let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then move them to a rack to finish cooling.
# Notes:
01 -
Stick with the classic rainbow stick-shaped sprinkles instead of round ones or fancy shapes—they won’t bleed into the dough like the others might.

These colorful cookies are great for birthdays and celebrations with their cheerful, fun vibe.
