Christmas Sprinkle Cookies
Christmas sprinkle cookies are soft, buttery sugar cookies studded with festive sprinkles. They offer a pillowy center, golden edges, and a vibrant crunch, making them the perfect holiday treat for gift-giving, Santa’s plate, or any festive gathering.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup red white, and green sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until a dough forms. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula to ensure everything is well combined.
- Gently fold in the holiday sprinkles until evenly distributed through the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out balls of dough and place them at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Serve once cooled or store as directed.
