Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350° F and prepare a large cookie sheet by lining it with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
Cream the butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until smooth. Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until the eggs are well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, then gradually add them to the butter mixture, beating on medium-low speed until the dough begins to form. Finally, mix in the sprinkles.
Transform the dough into 4 equal balls, leaving one uncolored and dyeing the other three with your chosen gel colors. Use a spatula or your hands to incorporate the colors into each piece.
Gather all four colors into a large bowl and lightly mix to achieve a tie-dye effect without overmixing, which can create muddy colors.
Using a medium or large cookie scoop, portion out the dough, rolling each ball in granulated sugar or additional sprinkles before placing them around 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350° F. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a vibrant look, use a variety of gel colors and be careful not to overmix for the best tie-dye effect.
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week, keeping them fresh and chewy.
Experiment with different sprinkles for a unique twist on the classic cookie flavor.
