Vanilla Sprinkle Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• About 1 cup rainbow sprinkles

Directions

1. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl, then put it aside. In a stand mixer bowl with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, oil, sugar, and confectioners sugar for about 3 minutes, until the mixture looks fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Add the dry mixture and mix only until the dough forms. It will be quite soft; wrap it in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
2. Set the oven racks in the upper and lower middle positions, then heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
3. Pour the sprinkles into a shallow bowl. Scoop the dough into balls with a 2-ounce cookie scoop, or use a rounded tablespoon. Roll each dough ball through the sprinkles until coated, then place them on the prepared baking sheets.
4. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the cookie edges are golden. Cool them on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
