Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla bean paste
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles plus extra for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla bean paste until fully combined.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients.
  • Fold in the sprinkles, then spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, until edges are golden but the center is still slightly soft.
  • Cool completely before slicing into squares. Top with extra sprinkles if desired.

Notes

- Let the bars cool completely before slicing for cleaner cuts.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal from the pan.
