Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  8. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack immediately and let cool completely.
  9. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  10. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles gently.
  11. Serve the dip in a bowl alongside the cookies for dunking.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for best texture. Do not overmix cookie dough to keep cookies tender. If dip is too thick, add an extra teaspoon of heavy cream. Pull cookies out when centers are still soft to avoid overbaking. Parchment paper helps with even baking and cleanup. Variations include adding mini chocolate chips to cookies or pureed berries to dip. Gluten-free and vegan substitutions are possible.
