These classic Sprinkle Sugar Cookies are super quick and delicious. No need to chill the dough means these cookies can be mixed up and made within 30 minutes. They are packed with sprinkles and vanilla flavor and are the perfect treat to bake this holiday season.
Servings: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- ¾ cup butter room temperature. I use salted but you can use unsalted butter if you prefer!
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer beat butter and sugar on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add in vanilla and the egg and mix until just combined.
- While the mixer is on low, add in the corn starch, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour until everything is incorporated. Add in the sprinkles and mix on low until just combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a medium sized cookie dough scoop (about 2 ½ tablespoons of dough per cookie) scoop onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and chill the dough balls for 30 minutes. Do not skip this step!
- Toward the end of the chilling process preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and arrange 5-6 dough balls about 2 inches apart as these cookies will spread!
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookie are just set. They may seem underdone but they will be perfect! Remove from the oven and if you want perfect circular cookies use a round cookie cutter larger than the cookie to scoot them into a round shape. Let them cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a cookie rack to cool completely.
