Make soft and chewy Christmas sprinkle sugar cookies that are easy to prepare and require no chilling time. These festive cookies are 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 sea salt
  • 1/2 cup Christmas sprinkles (red, green, and white mix)

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 all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea 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.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You can lightly press them down with the bottom of a glass if you prefer a flatter cookie.
  8. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look soft.
  9. 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 baking.
  • If you want a slightly crisper edge, bake for an extra minute, but watch carefully to keep the centers soft.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
