Bake soft, buttery Christmas sprinkle sugar cookies that require no rolling. These easy holiday cookies are coated in festive red and green sprinkles for a quick, crowd-pleasing treat.

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)

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 combined.
  4. In a separate 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. Stir in the Christmas sprinkles until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each mound.
  8. Gently press the tops of the dough mounds slightly with the back of a spoon or your palm to flatten them just a little.
  9. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers 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 cookies, roll the dough balls in extra sprinkles before baking.
  • If you prefer a chewier cookie, use 1/2 cup of brown sugar instead of granulated sugar in the dough.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
