• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

• Swap chocolate candies with your favorite mix-ins like nuts or dried fruit for a personalized twist.
• Chill the dough before baking to help the cookies hold their shape better.

• 1 1/2 teaspoons corn starch
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons brown sugar/sweetener blend
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup natural sweetener (such as honey or agave)
• 1 whole large egg

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Add-ins & Decorations

• Food coloring (various colors)
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate candies and sprinkles

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the softened butter with the brown sugar/sweetener blend, granulated sugar, and natural sweetener for about 2 minutes until creamy and light.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until fully incorporated and smooth.
5. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Scrape down the sides of the bowl and gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined to form the cookie dough.
6. Divide Dough and Add Color: Split the dough evenly into six small bowls. Add chocolate candies, sprinkles, and a different food coloring to each bowl. Stir each mixture until the dough is evenly colored and mixed with the add-ins.
7. Form Multi-Colored Dough Balls: Gather the six colored dough portions and combine them gently by rolling them together, then flatten slightly to create a vibrant, swirled cookie dough mound.
8. Arrange and Bake: Place the formed dough blobs about 6 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges and tops turn slightly golden brown.
9. Cool the Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps set their shape and texture.

Notes

• Using parchment paper or silicone mats ensures cookies do not stick and bake evenly.
• Adjust food coloring intensity according to your preference for vibrant or lighter hues.
• The mix of brown sugar, white sugar, and natural sweetener balances texture and sweetness for a soft, flavorful cookie.
• For uniform cookies, use a 1/2 cup scoop to divide dough portions.
• Allow cookies to cool completely to avoid breakage when moving.
• Feel free to customize the add-ins with different candy or sprinkle types for variety.
