Ingredients

1 cup softened butter
¾ cup brown sugar
¾ cup granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup unicorn sprinkles
½ teaspoon edible glitter
food coloring

Instructions

In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugars.
Then stir in the vanilla extract and eggs.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Now stir the dry ingredients in with the butter mixture. A soft dough ball will form.
Divide the dough into two or three segments. Use food color to color each segment by stirring it in.
Prepare the sprinkles by adding them in a bowl with half a teaspoon or more of edible glitter. Mix them together so the sprinkles get coated in the glitter.
Create dough balls from the segments, so each cookie will have a few different colors.
Then roll the dough balls in the sprinkles and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 10-11 minutes. Allow to cool before eating.
