I make these year-round, and everyone loves them - especially the kids. I change up the sprinkles I use to match the holiday  .Sugar Cookies with Sprinkles Ingredients 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, add an extra tablespoon for thicker cookies 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt ½ cup unsalted butter, softened slightly but still cool ¾ cup granulated sugar 1 large egg 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract ¼ teaspoon almond extract, optional ¾ cup sprinkles, see note Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper (don't use baking spray). 2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. 3. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat butter until smooth. Slowly pour in the sugar, mixing as you pour. Beat sugar and butter for a minute until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, mixing until combined and scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Add in flour mixture and mix until just combined. Add ½ cup sprinkles (see note) and stir by hand until combined. 4. Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of dough and roll into a ball. Place ¼ cup of sprinkles on a plate and press the tops of the dough balls in sprinkles. Place dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about a couple of inches for spreading. I like to mound the dough balls higher rather than wider so they bake on the thicker side. 5. Bake for 9-11 minutes. The edges should be completely set, and the centers should look slightly undercooked. Place the baking sheets on wire racks to cool. Once the baking sheets are completely cool, repeat with the remaining dough. Notes The butter should be softened slightly. It should not be starting to melt or losing its shape. Sprinkles: Use about ½ cup of sprinkles IN the cookies and then roll the cookie dough balls in another ¼ cup of sprinkles. I like to use a small ice cream scoop to form the cookies. This ensures they are all the same size and bake evenly. |
