How to Make the Perfect Birthday Cake Cookie
At Sweet Science, we believe that every day is a reason to celebrate, but there’s something extra special about birthdays! Whether you're planning a big party or just want to indulge in a little sweetness, our Birthday Cake Cookie is the ultimate treat to make your day even more joyful.
This cookie is a festive blend of everything that makes a birthday so delightful: a soft, chewy cookie base, vibrant sprinkles, and a delicate vanilla flavor that’s reminiscent of a classic birthday cake. It’s perfect for anyone who loves the nostalgia of blowing out candles and indulging in a little extra sweetness.
Here’s how to make our irresistible Birthday Cake Cookie at home:
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles (plus extra for garnish)
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional for extra sweetness)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine with dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Add sprinkles and white chocolate chips: Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles and white chocolate chips (if using). This will give your cookies that extra burst of color and flavor!
Scoop the dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Top each dough ball with a few extra sprinkles for an extra pop of color.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. They will firm up as they cool.
Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
And there you have it – the ultimate Birthday Cake Cookie, ready to bring smiles to your celebrations!
