- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Step 3: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
- Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
- Step 5: Fold in the nonpareils sprinkles gently.
- Step 6: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.
- Step 7: Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are light golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
