Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: Beat butter and sugar in a stand mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together cake flour, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture until combined.
- Color the Dough: Divide dough into three parts. Color one portion green, one orange, and one purple. Knead each portion until color is even.
- Form Cookies: Scoop 2 teaspoons of each colored dough, press together, and roll into balls. Flatten slightly and roll edges in Halloween sprinkles. Press white chocolate chips into the dough balls.
- Chill Dough: Refrigerate the dough balls for 30 minutes.

Notes
Color Mixing: For best results, knead the dough gently to avoid blending the colors.
Chilling: Chilling the dough helps maintain cookie shape and prevents spreading.
Substitutions: Feel free to use different types of chocolate chips if preferred.
