Chocolate Chip Sprinkle Cookies

Ya okay these are good. They are just simple crowd pleasers. I mean sprinkles and chocolate, whats not to LYKE?! I was visiting my high school field hockey team *SHOUTOUT 2 WILDCAT FLOCK* and I couldn't show up without bringing something to make their preseason practice a little bit tastier. To be honest, a good gatorade flavor would  make preseason tastier but that's not the point. These cookies are simple, buttery, delicious, and the sprinkles prettify *thats actually a word I looked it up* the whole cookie and make it fun and playful.  SO whether you want to storm the bake sale, brighten up someone's day, or are celebrating a wednesday, try these out. You won't be disappointed...except maybe with yourself when you realize you have absolutely zero self control.

Chocolate Chip Sprinkle Cookies

Ingredients

3 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 sticks salted butter, room temperature, totally softened
1 cup white granulated sugar
1 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
3 eggs, room temp
2 teaspoons vanilla

1 12 oz. bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 bottle rainbow sprinkles, about 1/4 of a cup*NOTES: I like my cookies super chocolatey so I add a TON of chocolate...do as you like

Recipe: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl combine the first three dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt) and set aside. In another bowl cream the butter and the sugars. Beat for about 4 minutes, until well combined and light. Add eggs one at a time and continue to beat throughout the addition. Add vanilla. Beat for about 7 minutes on medium speed, until the mixture grows inside and is very fluffy and creamy. Slow down the speed and add the flour mixture in batches. Once the flour is totally incorporated, add the chocolate chips and sprinkles and mix on low for 1 minute, then stir by hand. Roll dough in seran wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Grease a baking sheet and spoon healthy heaps of dough 2 inches apart from each other, making sure not to crowd. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, until cookie edges are golden and center is barely firm.

 tell me you can resist...you can stop lying now.
