  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 20 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature

  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • ½ tsp butter extract (optional, for birthday cake flavor)

  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¾ cup white chocolate chips

  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • ⅔ cup rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • Cream butter and sugars together in a large bowl until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).

  • Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until fully incorporated.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture.

  • Fold in chocolate chips and sprinkles gently until just combined.

  • Scoop dough (about 2 tbsp each) onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between cookies.

  • Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers are soft.

  • Cool for 5 minutes on the tray, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

  • For a stronger birthday cake flavor, add ½ tsp butter extract or a few drops of almond extract.

  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze dough balls for up to 3 months.

  • Add extra sprinkles on top before baking for a fun, bakery-style look!
