Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg

- 1 cup thawed whipped topping
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for coating)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, whisking until well mixed.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture is airy and pale, about 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully blended.
- Slowly introduce the dry ingredients to the buttery mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Carefully fold in the thawed whipped topping to achieve a smooth dough.
- Scoop out portions of the dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, rolling them into balls.
- Roll each ball in powdered sugar until thoroughly coated, then arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each one.
- If desired, add a sprinkle of colorful sprinkles on top for a cheerful appearance.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn a light golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes

- For an exciting variation, consider mixing in 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract for a unique flavor profile.
- You can swap the whipped topping for a dairy-free version to accommodate different dietary needs.
