Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Sparkle Sweetheart Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then pour in the vanilla extract and whisk until fully blended.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in the colorful sprinkles gently until they are evenly distributed in the dough.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart, and bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers are soft.
  7. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
