  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure the butter is softened for best results.

Use softened butter for best results. Feel free to swap sprinkles with mini chocolate chips or other toppings. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
