Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (full-fat for best creaminess)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, beat 1/2 cup unsalted butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.
  3. Mix in 1 large egg yolk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Carefully fold in 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles, making sure they’re evenly distributed but not crushed.
  6. Roll dough into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each), place on a lined baking sheet, and flatten slightly with your palm or the bottom of a glass.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. While cookies cool, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  9. In a separate bowl, whip 1/2 cup heavy cream with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
  10. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  11. Serve the dip chilled with rainbow sprinkle cookies for dipping. Store leftovers covered in the fridge.

Notes

Do not overbake the cookies to keep them soft in the center. Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes to firm up and make it easier to scoop. Let cream cheese soften at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps. Fold sprinkles gently to prevent color bleeding.
