Sprinkle Cookies

These Sprinkle Cookies are just about as cheerful as it gets – delicious tender chewy sugar cookies dotted with rainbow sprinkles. They come together in one bowl either by hand or with a stand mixer and require no chill time, so they’re easy as can be.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 15 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups + 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ¾ cup rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350℉.
  • In a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer), beat together the room temperature butter and sugar until light and fluffy – high speed on the stand mixer, your best effort if by hand.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat to combine. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is getting incorporated. 
  • Switch to a spatula and mix in the flour, baking soda, kosher salt, and cream of tartar. 
  • When the dry ingredients are 90% of the way combined with the wet, add the sprinkles and continue mixing until everything comes together. 
  • Scoop into cookie dough balls, 3 tablespoon size. Place each ball of dough 2-inches apart on prepared baking sheets (cookie sheet or baking sheet lined with parchment paper).
  • Bake at 350°F for 12-14 minutes until the edges are just getting golden. Let the baked cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 or so minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
