  • Vanilla extract โ€“ Pure vanilla extract for the best vanilla flavor.
  • All-purpose flour
  • Baking soda

Add in the dry ingredients (all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt) and mix until the cookie dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles.
  2. Chill the cookie dough: Portion the cookie dough using a large cookie scoop (3 tablespoons) and place the cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet pan. Chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes. 
  3. Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheet pans with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
  4. Bake the cookies: Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking panallowing room for spreading. Bake the cookies for 12 to 13 minutes until slightly golden brown on the edges. Allow the cookies to sit on the pan for two minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Recipe Tips

  • Check out my baking tips post on 10 Tips for Baking Perfect Cookies to learn simple tips and tricks to make the most out of this recipe.
  • Be sure to chill the cookie dough before baking. If you skip the chilling, the cookies will spread out too much and the cookies will be thin.
  • To make the cookies perfectly round, use the back of a spoon to gently nudge the edges of the cookies immediately when they are removed from the oven. You could also swirl a large round cookie cutter around the cookies to make them perfectly round.
  • Press additional chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles into the cookie dough balls before chilling to give the cookies a bakery-quality appearance.
