Make soft, chewy Christmas sprinkle sugar cookies that require no dough chilling time. These easy holiday cookies are packed with festive red and green sprinkles and are perfect for cookie exchanges or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Christmas sprinkles (red, green, holiday mix)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the Christmas sprinkles.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in extra sprinkles if desired for a heavier coating.
  8. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Gently press down on each ball with the bottom of a glass to flatten slightly into a cookie shape.
  9. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are 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 cut-out shapes, chill the dough for 30 minutes after rolling it out to prevent spreading during baking.
  • Use high-quality vanilla extract for the best buttery sugar cookie flavor.
  • These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
