Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter (slightly cooled down) with brown and white sugar, until well combined. Stir in the egg, vanilla extract, and honey. Mix until smooth.
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two or three additions, stirring well between each addition. Gently stir in the sprinkles, until evenly distributed in the dough.
Portion the dough into equal balls, using an ice cream scoop, and place the cookie balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for one hour. Remove from the refrigerator and allow the cookie dough to come to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place the cookie balls into the baking sheets, leaving enough space between them to allow spreading, and add more jimmies sprinkles on top.
Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until sides are just set and centers slightly underbaked to keep cookies soft and chewy. Bang the baking sheet onto the countertop a few times to flatten the cookies out, then add more sprinkles (any kind, this time) while cookies are still warm. Let sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack, or devour right away while cookies are still warm!

Notes

* Use sprinkle jimmies, not nonpareils. Jimmies won’t dye the cookie dough while nonpareils likely will bleed into the dough and may leave you with some funky-colored cookies.
