Make these soft and chewy Christmas Sprinkle Sugar Cookies. They are easy to prepare, loaded with festive red and green sprinkles, and perfect for holiday baking or cookie exchanges.

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
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup Christmas sprinkles (red, green, and white jimmies or nonpareils)

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.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the Christmas sprinkles until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Gently press down on the tops of the dough balls slightly with the bottom of a glass or your fingers to flatten them slightly.
  9. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers should still look soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra festive color, roll the dough balls in extra sprinkles before flattening them.
  • If you prefer a slightly thicker cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
