This Giant Sugar Cookie is light and fluffy with a soft, cake-like texture. The colorful sprinkles make it extra fun and even give it a slightly crunch with each bite. Slice it up or break it apart into pieces, but either way you'll want it all to yourself.

Ingredients

  • 4 oz (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 99 grams (1/2 cup) sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 210 grams (1 3/4 cup) flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 250ยบ.
  2. In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or with a handheld mixer, blend together the butter and sugar on medium speed until combined.
  3. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and continue to mix, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. With the mixer on low, add in the flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix just until combined.
  5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and form the dough into a giant ball.
  6. Spread out sprinkles on a small plate and carefully press dough ball into sprinkles, shaking the plate as you go to redistribute the sprinkles. Continue this process until the top of the dough is fully covered in sprinkles. Gently pick up giant cookie and roll sides in the remaining sprinkles.
  7. Once the top and sides are completely covered in sprinkles, place the giant cookie on a parchment lined baking sheet. Press it down slightly so that it is about 4 1/2 inches in diameter.
  8. Bake for 40 minutes until it is firm around the edges. Once baked, it will expand to about 7 1/2 inches.
  9. Transfer cookie sheet to a cooling rack and let cookie cool for at least 15 minutes.
  10. Enjoy!

Notes

  • I chose to use jimmies because I love that they have a good crunch, but still soften slightly when baked. You can use nonpareils or even quins if you prefer.
