In another bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients of flour, baking powder and salt until combined.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix together until combined. Add in the white chocolate chips and sprinkles. Do not over-mix, dough should be wet, yet crumbly looking.
Scoop dough balls out with ¼ cup cookie scoop.
Place scooped dough balls on parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake cookies 2 inches apart for 15 minutes, 6 to 8 cookies per baking sheet. Do not overbake to keep them soft and chewy style. Do not overbake, cookies will continue baking on baking sheet.

For smaller cookies, use 1.5 or 2 tablespoon cookie scoops and bake for 10-12 minutes.
Notes
Add 1 teaspoon of Cake batter extract instead of vanilla to cookies if you want an extra boost of birthday cake flavor!
