Ingredients
Here’s what you need to whip up a batch of delicious Rollercoaster Cookies:
1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup white chocolate chips
½ cup colorful sprinkles
Optional mix-ins: chopped nuts, crushed pretzels, or caramel bits
Directions
Preheat and Prep:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Cream the Butter and Sugars:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Add Wet Ingredients:
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
Add the Rollercoaster Fun:
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and colorful sprinkles. If you’re using optional mix-ins like pretzels or nuts, add those too for extra texture.
Shape and Bake:
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Cool:
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serving: Serve these cookies fresh with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful pairing.
Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. To enjoy, simply thaw or pop them in the oven for a couple of minutes to warm up.
