# What's Needed:

01 - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

# How to Make It:

05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
06 - Fold in the sprinkles and white chocolate chips (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed.
07 - Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
08 - Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
09 - Remove from the oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
