  • 125 g butter, softened4.41 oz butter, softened
  • 180 ml brown sugar12.17 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 each egg
  • 5 ml vanilla extract1.01 tsp vanilla extract
  • 480 ml flour2.03 cup flour
  • 2.5 ml baking powder0.51 tsp baking powder
  • 120 ml white chocolate chips8.12 tbsp white chocolate chips
  • 120 ml sprinkles8.12 tbsp sprinkles
  • salt (to taste), for over-1s, add a tiny pinch to the dough

Steps

Make the Dough

  1. Cream the butter and brown sugar together until the mixture looks pale, light, and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then beat until everything is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add the flour and baking powder and mix gently until a soft dough just comes together.
  4. Fold the white chocolate chips evenly through the cookie dough.

Chill and Coat

  1. Shape the dough into a log and wrap it in plastic film, smoothing it into an even round shape.
  2. Chill in the fridge or freezer until firm enough to slice cleanly but not rock hard, about 1 to 2 hours.
  3. Unwrap the chilled log and roll it firmly in the sprinkles so they coat all the way around the edge.

Bake

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 C (360 F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Slice the dough into rounds about 1 cm thick and lay them flat on the lined tray with a little space between each.
  3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until set and just pale, not deeply golden. Cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then move to a rack.

Tips by age

2-3y

These are a sweet occasional treat, so offer one small cookie. Break each cookie into smaller pieces and let your toddler eat sitting down.

Choking safety: White chocolate chips and firm cookie edges can be a choking risk. Break into small pieces and supervise closely while eating.

3-5y

Serve one or two cookies as a treat. They can hold the whole cookie, just encourage small bites at the table.

Choking safety: Remind them to take small bites of the firm sprinkle edge and chew well.

5-8y

Serve as written. This age can enjoy a couple of cookies and help with rolling the log in sprinkles and slicing under supervision.
