⅓ Cup colored sugar, one or more colors combined
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1 ¼ Cups sugar
¼ Cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
½ tsp. Spice Islands® Pure Vanilla Extract
2 ¼ Cups all-purpose flour
1 ¼ tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. Clabber Girl® Baking Powder
¼ tsp. Clabber Girl® Baking Soda
2 Cups white chocolate chips (12 oz. bag)

Directions

Heat the oven to 350°F. Pan-spray or line two half sheet pans with parchment or a silicone baking mat. Mix the colored sugars together in a small bowl, and set aside.
In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the sugar and butter on medium-high speed for 4 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix for 4 minutes.
Add the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda and paddle on low speed until just combined, about 20 seconds.
Paddle in the white chocolate chips and 3 tablespoons of the color sugar blend until just incorporated.
Using a 2 ¾ ounce ice cream scoop (or a 1/3 cup measure), scoop the dough onto prepared pans 2-3 inches apart. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar blend and bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes.
Cool the cookies slightly on sheet pans. Transfer cookies to a plate or to an airtight container for storage. At room temperature, the cookies will keep fresh for 3 days; in the freezer, they will keep for 1 month.

Tips

This cookie is a dense and fudgy, Blondie-like take on the classic frosted and sugar sprinkled sugar cookie. I make it every time there’s a snow day- it reminds me of the holiday season and the sugar sprinkles look like colorful, fresh snow on an insanely delicious cookie.
