Make these soft and chewy Christmas sprinkle sugar cookies without needing to chill the dough. This easy recipe uses simple ingredients to create festive, colorful cookies perfect for holiday parties and 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)
  • 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.
  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 into a dough. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the 1/2 cup of Christmas sprinkles into the dough.
  7. Place the extra 1/4 cup of sprinkles for rolling into a shallow dish.
  8. Scoop the dough into balls, about 1.5 tablespoons each. Roll each ball in the extra sprinkles until fully coated.
  9. Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them. Gently press down slightly on the top of each ball with the bottom of a glass or your palm to flatten slightly.
  10. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look soft.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra soft cookies, use a mix of red, green, and white jimmies and nonpareils for the coating.
  • If you prefer a slightly thicker cookie, chill the dough balls for 15 minutes before rolling in sprinkles and baking.
  • These are excellent for cookie exchanges because they look festive without needing complex icing.
