Ingredients

½ cup all-purpose flour heat-treated THEN spooned and leveled
¼ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
¼ cup granulated sugar
1.5 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
pinch of salt
2-3 tablespoon sprinkles

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Start by heat treating your flour: in a microwave-safe bowl, microwave a little more than ½ cup of flour in 30 second increments, mixing after each time, until it reaches 160℉. It should take about 1-2 minutes total to reach that temperature. Then spoon and level out ½ cup for the recipe. Set aside to cool.
½ cup all-purpose flour
In a separate mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until smooth (1-2 minutes) using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer. Mix in the vanilla bean paste.
¼ cup unsalted butter, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1.5 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Sift in the heat-treated flour and the salt. Mix until everything is combined. If you'd like your cookie dough to be softer, add 1-2 teaspoon of milk to the batter.
pinch of salt
Use a rubber spatula to fold in the sprinkles or any other mix-ins you would like.
2-3 tablespoon sprinkles

Notes

You can also heat treat your flour in the oven - spread flour onto parchment paper-lined baking sheet and cook at 350 F until reaches temperature of 160 F.

Once you’ve heat treated the flour you’ll need to measure it again, either spoon and leveling it or weighing on a kitchen scale.
You can use vanilla extract instead of paste, but paste really adds a great flavor! Trader Joes makes a great vanilla bean paste.

Make sure the flour cools completely before you add it to the bowl. I also like to sift my flour as I find it clumps after the heat treating process.

For a softer cookie dough, add up to 1-2 teaspoons of milk.
