Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

Prepare the dry mix:
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Combine wet ingredients:

Form the dough:
  1. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Fold in the sprinkles for a festive touch.
Shape and bake:
