Easy Sprinkle Sugar Cookies
Description
These Easy Sprinkle Sugar Cookies bring you the perfect soft and chewy texture, with just the right balance of buttery richness and sweetness. The secret? A touch of cornstarch, which keeps them soft and melt-in-your-mouth good.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (for extra softness!)
- ½ cup sprinkles (plus extra for rolling)
Instructions
Step 1: Prep & Preheat
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Cream the Butter & Sugar
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Mix in egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
Step 4: Add Sprinkles & Roll
- Gently fold in ½ cup sprinkles.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll them in extra sprinkles for extra color.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
- Place cookie dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
- Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.
