Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F/204 degrees C and spray a 9x13 baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together in a large mixing bowl.
2 cups all -purpose flour, 3 teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, ½ cup white granulated sugar
In a separate medium bowl, beat egg thorough with a whisk or fork
2 eggs
Mix milk, melted butter, emulsion and egg together in a separate bowl.
1 ¾ cups milk, 4.5 tablespoon melted butter, 2 teaspoon vanilla butter bakery emulsion
Make a well (a hole) in the center of the dry ingredients, then slowly add the wet ingredients.
Stir quickly until ingredients are just mixed, but batter is still lumpy
Pour batter onto the prepared baking sheet.
Tap the pan on the counter a couple of times to even out the batter.
Bake pancakes for 12-14 minutes until the pancakes are lightly browned on top and golden brown on the bottom.
13 minutes was perfect for me!
*If air bubbles start to form on the top of the pancakes, just pop them with a toothpick or cake tester at any point during the baking process!
Meanwhile make the glaze : Whisk powdered sugar, corn syrup and 3 tablespoon milk together.
2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoon clear corn syrup, 3 tablespoon milk
You will know the pancakes are ready when a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Pour glaze evenly over pancakes.
Add rainbow sprinkles (jimmies)
Cut into 12 slices and serve.

Garnish

Garnish with half a sugar cookie (or a mini sugar cookie), whipped cream and more sprinkles, if desired.

Notes

Recipe Tips:

Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Allow your eggs and milk to come to room temperature before mixing. This helps the ingredients blend more evenly and gives the pancakes a fluffier texture.

Don’t Overmix the Batter: Stir the batter just until combined. A few lumps are okay! Overmixing can lead to dense and tough pancakes.

Level the Batter Evenly: Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the batter evenly across the sheet pan. This ensures the pancakes cook uniformly.

Poke Air Bubbles Mid-Bake: If you see air bubbles forming during baking, gently pop them with a toothpick to keep the surface smooth and even.

Glaze After Cooling Slightly: Let the pancakes cool for 5-10 minutes before adding the glaze. This prevents it from soaking in too quickly and keeps the texture perfect.

Go for Jimmies: Opt for longer, softer sprinkles (jimmies) rather than harder ones (nonpareils), as they provide a more pleasant texture on pancakes.

Top Tip

I recommend using a nylon knife (affiliate link) to cut the pancakes right in the pan. It won't damage the finish of your cookie sheet.

🌡️Storage

Store these sugar cookie pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. They will get too soggy after this, as the glaze is absorbed. These pancakes freeze well for up to 3 months in an airtight container or Ziploc freezer bag.

Make in advance: If you want to make these in advance, do not put the glaze on until just before serving. You can cut them into squares so they are easier to heat up in the microwave. Or you can simply cover the whole pan in Glad Press N' Seal and freeze it. Then you can defrost it overnight in the fridge and warm it in the oven.
