Sprinkle Sugar Cookies in 26 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until the mixture is pale, fluffy, and sweet.
3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the batter is completely smooth and glossy.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet batter on low speed, mixing just until combined.
6. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles by hand until evenly distributed.
7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
8. Bake for 10–11 minutes; remove when the edges are barely set and pale gold, while the centers still look slightly underbaked.
9. Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
10. Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to create a simple icing, drizzle over cooled cookies, and top with extra rainbow sprinkles.
