Make these festive Christmas sprinkle cookies easily. They use a simple sugar cookie base, are rolled in colorful holiday sprinkles, and bake up soft and chewy, perfect for cookie exchanges or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup Christmas sprinkles (red, green, and white mix)
  • 1/4 cup extra Christmas sprinkles for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Stir in the 1/2 cup of Christmas sprinkles into the dough until evenly distributed.
  5. Pour the extra 1/4 cup of sprinkles onto a shallow plate.
  6. Scoop the dough into rounded tablespoons. Roll each dough ball between your palms to form a smooth ball.
  7. Roll each dough ball completely in the extra sprinkles until fully coated. Place the coated balls onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft. These are **soft sugar cookies recipe** favorites.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra soft cookies, slightly underbake them by one minute. They will firm up as they cool.
  • If you want a richer flavor, substitute 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar with light brown sugar.
  • These are excellent **kid friendly Christmas baking** projects since rolling in sprinkles is simple.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to five days to maintain softness.
