Easy & Delicious Christmas Sugar Cookies
These easy, no-chill Christmas Sugar Cookies are soft, chewy, and buttery. Just roll the simple dough into balls, dip in colorful sprinkles, and bake! They are perfect for holiday parties, platters, or gifting!
Ingredients You Need to Make these Christmas Sugar Cookies:
- All-Purpose Flour
- Butter
- Granulated Sugar
- Egg
- Vanilla Extract
- Baking Powder
- Baking Soda
- Salt
- Sprinkles
How to Make these Easy Christmas Sugar Cookies:
- Beat the butter and sugar. Put the softened butter and sugar into a mixer and beat until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and continue beating until lightened in color.
- Combine the dry ingredients. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.
- Roll into balls. Scoop out the dough (about 2 tablespoons each) and roll into balls.
- Dip into sprinkles. Pour the sprinkles you want to use into a shallow bowl. Dip the top and sides of the sugar cookie dough into the sprinkles and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Avoid getting sprinkles on the bottom of the cookie.
- Bake. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes or until you see a slight crack on top. Take care not to over bake them- otherwise you won’t end up with a soft and chewy cookie. They will continue to set up as they cool.
