Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Colorful sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×13 baking dish by greasing it or lining with parchment paper.
- Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl until fluffy.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool before icing with frosting or dusting with powdered sugar.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with coconut oil. You can also add chocolate chips, crushed candy canes, or nuts for a personalized touch.
