Bring back the days of sharing a double-dipped chocolate ice cream cone covered with rainbow sprinkles. Yes, you can get that same classic combination in a cookie recipe...our Chocolate Confetti Cookies.

What You'll Need

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
1 cup rainbow sprinkles (see Note)

What to Do

In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs, beating well. On lowest speed of an electric mixer, add the flour, baking powder, and salt; blend well. Stir in the melted chocolate chips and the sprinkles; mix well.
Divide dough in half and roll each half into a 2-inch-diameter log. Wrap each log in waxed paper and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours, or freeze 1 hour, until firm.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat baking sheets with cooking spray.
Slice cookies 1/4-inch thick and place on prepared baking sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until firm.

Note

For a more chocolatey look, use chocolate sprinkles instead of rainbow.
