- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp pink food coloring
Decorative Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup pink sprinkles
- 1/4 cup cream cheese frosting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Sift together flour, powdered sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl to eliminate any lumps.
- In a separate large bowl, cream softened butter until smooth and fluffy using an electric mixer.
- Incorporate eggs one at a time into the butter, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
- Blend in vanilla extract, milk, and pink food coloring until the mixture achieves a uniform rosy hue.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a soft, cohesive dough forms.
- Gently mix in white chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Scoop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges appear lightly golden and centers are set.
- Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle pink sprinkles over warm cookies.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Optional: Once cooled, drizzle cream cheese frosting over cookies for extra decadence.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Customize the color intensity by adjusting the amount of pink food coloring to match your desired shade of rosy pink.
- Ensure butter is at room temperature for smoother mixing and better cookie texture.
- Swap white chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate for a different flavor profile.
- For a gluten-free version, replace all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to accommodate dietary restrictions.
