02 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
04 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and light, about 2-3 minutes.
04 - Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
05 - Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
06 - Fold in white chocolate chips and pastel sprinkles.
07 - Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
08 - Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Centers should look soft.
09 - Cool on pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
- They look like tiny edible party favors but taste even better than they look
- The dough comes together in under 20 minutes with zero fancy techniques
02 -
- Room temperature ingredients blend together so much better than cold ones—plan ahead and set everything out about 30 minutes before baking
- These cookies continue baking on the hot pan, so pulling them out when centers look slightly underdone is actually the secret to perfectly soft results
03 -
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizing—this helps all cookies bake at the same speed
- Rotate your baking sheets halfway through baking if your oven has hot spots
