Servings 16 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup shortening or vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.
  • Mix cocoa powder, sugar, and oil in a large bowl or in a stand mixer using the paddle attachment.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Sift the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt) to your wet ingredients and beat until combined, scraping the bottom of the bowl as needed.
  • Transfer the dough to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F when it’s time to bake. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or our favorite non-stick silicone baking mats.
  • Scoop cookie dough into 1 1/2 tbsp balls (the dough will still be sticky. Remain calm and keep scooping).
  • Place balls of dough one at a time on a plate and cover with sprinkles.  Roll in additional sprinkles if needed to fully coat. 
  • Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Transfer the cookie sheet to preheated oven. Let the cookies bake until just set, about 10-12 minutes. The cookies will spread a little, but will still be soft.
  • Let the baked cookies cool completely before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

These little cookies keep nicely in a airtight container for several days, if you can resist eating them!
