Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1½ tsp vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
2½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt

Instructions
Preheat & Prep:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream Butter & Sugar:
In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until combined.
Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add to wet ingredients until a thick dough forms.
Fold in the Fun:
Gently stir in Fruity Pebbles (and chocolate chips if using) until evenly distributed.
Scoop & Bake:
Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets. Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are just golden. Do not overbake—they should stay soft!
Cool:
Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
