Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Christmas sprinkles (jimmies or mix)
- 1/4 cup extra Christmas sprinkles for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the 1/2 cup of Christmas sprinkles until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Place the extra 1/4 cup of sprinkles in a shallow dish.
- Scoop the dough into rounded tablespoons. Roll each scoop lightly into a ball, then roll the ball in the extra sprinkles to coat the outside.
- Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them. You do not need to flatten them.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For the softest cookies, measure your flour by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off.
- Use a mix of red, green, and white jimmies for the most festive look.
- These cookies are great for cookie exchanges because they hold their shape well.
