Make these soft and chewy Christmas sprinkle sugar cookies. They are easy to prepare, require no dough chilling, and are loaded with festive red and green sprinkles for a perfect holiday treat.

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 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 medium 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 and roll them into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Gently flatten each dough ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your palm.
  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 sheets 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.
  • These are bakery style Christmas cookies that stay soft; avoid overbaking to maintain chewiness.
  • If you prefer a slightly firmer cookie, chill the dough balls for 15 minutes before baking.
