Funfetti Cookies

 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
 1 ¼ tsp kosher salt
 1 tsp baking soda
 ¾ cup rainbow sprinkles, plus more for decorating
 ¾ cup Colavita Olive Oil, Delicate and Mild
 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, plus more for rolling pre-bake
 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
 2 large eggs
1

Whisk the flour, salt, soda and sprinkles in a small bowl.

2

In a large bowl, whisk the oil, sugar and vanilla.

3

Add the eggs and whisk until fully incorporated and glossy, about 30 seconds.

4

Add the dry ingredients, and with a flexible spatula, mix until just combined.

5

Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon scoop (or measuring spoons), scoop the dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet.

6

Place some granulated sugar in a small, shallow bowl and roll the balls of dough in the sugar. They may be a bit squishy, but don’t worry. Place them back on to the parchment-lined baking sheet, forming them back into balls if they have morphed shapes a bit, sprinkle them with extra sprinkles and place in the freezer until frozen solid, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Freezing them will preclude them from spreading when baked.

7

When ready to bake off the cookies, preheat the oven to 350°F. Place 10 balls of dough on another parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake for about 15 minutes, rotating at the halfway point. Once removed from the oven, slightly flatten each cookie with a spatula and let cool to room temp. Repeat with the remaining dough.
