Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, kosher salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar in a mixing bowl.
  3. Using a stand mixer, cream the unsalted butter and both granulated sugars for about 2 minutes until fluffy.
  4. Slowly drizzle in the canola oil, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and eggs one at a time, mixing until combined.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and fold in the red jimmies sprinkles.
  6. Scoop the dough and roll into 2-inch balls; flatten each ball to about ½-inch thick on the baking sheet.
