  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar Sweetens the cookies.
  • 1 large egg Binds the ingredients.
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup Helps retain moisture and adds chewiness.
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract Infuses an aromatic flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon butter emulsion or butter extract Enhances the buttery taste.
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour Provides structure.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Acts as a leavening agent.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Balances sweetness.
Festive Additions

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl as necessary.
  3. Incorporate the large egg, light corn syrup, pure vanilla extract, and butter emulsion into the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined.
  4. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to the mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
  5. Gently fold in the holiday sprinkles and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed within the dough.
Baking
  1. Using a cookie scoop, drop dollops of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, ensuring enough space between each cookie.
  2. Bake the cookies for 6 to 10 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
  3. Allow the cookies to rest on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

Start with room temperature ingredients for the best results. Consider chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes for thicker cookies. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
