Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup red and blue sprinkles
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Stir to mix and set aside.
  3. Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.

Notes

For a healthier option, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or use coconut sugar.
