These Christmas Sprinkle Cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with festive sprinkles. Made from scratch with a simple cookie dough and chilled for the perfect texture, they're an easy holiday cookie that's perfect for cookie trays, gifting, or baking with kids.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ Teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons Christmas sprinkles
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- In a medium bowl mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt and 3 tablespoons of sprinkles.
- In the bowl of a mixer cream together the butter and both sugars. Mix until creamy and lighter in color. This should take about 2 minutes.
- To the mixer, add in the egg and vanilla extract. Scraping the bowl as need. Mix until fully combined.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop out the cookie dough using a 1-ounce portion scoop, or two heaping tablespoons. Place 2-inches apart on lined baking sheet. Lightly press down to flatten. Sprinkle with the remaining sprinkles. More if you like!
- Place in the refrigerator and chill the cookie dough for 2 hours.
- Preheat an oven to 350° F and bake the cookies for 14 minutes. Cool completely on cooling rack. Enjoy!
