Make soft and chewy Christmas sprinkle sugar cookies without chilling the dough. This easy, one-bowl recipe delivers bakery-style holiday cookies perfect for gifting or 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)

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. You can use an electric mixer for this step.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. In a separate medium 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. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the Christmas sprinkles using a spatula.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. You do not need to chill this dough.
  8. Gently flatten each dough ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your palm.
  9. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft.
  10. 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 more sprinkles before flattening them.
  • If you prefer a slightly firmer cookie, bake for an additional minute or two.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
