These Drop Style Sprinkle Sugar Cookies are soft, buttery, and packed with colorful sprinkles that add a fun crunch to every bite. With a simple mix of classic sugar cookie ingredients and the extra touch of sprinkles both inside and on top, these cookies are perfect for celebrations or any time you want a cheerful treat. The dough is chilled before baking to ensure thick, tender cookies with the perfect texture.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/2 cups (188g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp; 113g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Sprinkles

  • 1/2 cup (80g) sprinkles, plus more for topping

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside to ensure even distribution of leavening and seasonings.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the large egg and pure vanilla extract on high speed until fully combined, roughly 1 minute. Scrape down the bowl sides as needed to incorporate all ingredients.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined to avoid overworking the dough. Fold in 1/2 cup of sprinkles to distribute evenly within the dough.
  5. Form Dough Balls: The dough will be thick and sticky. Scoop about 2 tablespoons (40g) of dough for each cookie and roll into balls. Lightly dip the tops of the dough balls into additional sprinkles for extra color and texture, then place on a lined baking sheet or plate.
  6. Chill Dough: Cover the dough balls and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 4 days. Chilling helps cookies hold their shape and improves flavor.
  7. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  8. Bake Cookies: Arrange chilled dough balls 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12-13 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned but the centers look soft, ensuring tender, chewy cookies.
  9. Cool: Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
  10. Store: Keep cooled cookies covered at room temperature for up to 1 week to maintain freshness and softness.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough is essential for achieving the perfect texture and preventing cookies from spreading too much during baking.
  • Use room temperature butter and egg for better mixing and dough consistency.
  • Customize sprinkles to your preference, but avoid using those that bleed color to maintain cookie appearance.
  • For thicker cookies, consider slightly increasing the chilling time.
  • Cookies can also be frozen after baking; thaw at room temperature before serving.
