Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Fill a shallow bowl with about 1 cup of the jimmies.

In the bowl of a standing mixer, cream together the butter, shortening and sugar. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in bowl and gradually blend into the creamed mixture until dough comes together, about 2 - 3 minutes.

Use a 2 tablespoon scoop or roll dough into golf ball sized balls. Flatten slightly and dip in jimmies. Place 6 cookies on a baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

Bake cookies 10 to 12 minutes. Only the bottoms should be light brown. Remove cookies from baking sheet and cool on a piece of parchment paper on the counter.
