Soft and Chewy Sprinkle Sugar Cookies are so fun to make and delicious to eat!
I love sugar cookies! Like a lot a lot! They are my absolute favorite cookies ever! I love these especially because they have so many sprinkles in them, making them so colorful!
The sprinkles add a different kind of sweetness than normal sugar cookies. I feel like these cookies are fancier than regular sugar cookies, with a hint of childlikeness from the sprinkles.
Sprinkle Sugar Cookies are soft and chewy and perfect with a hot cup of Matcha tea or peppermint tea.

Things You May Need
Start by preheating the oven to 375F.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Next, add the egg and vanilla extract, mix until combined.
I love to use a good quality vanilla extract for my sugar cookie recipes since the vanilla adds so much flavor to them.
In the same bowl as the sugar/ egg mixture, add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine.
I add the flour directly to the sugar/egg mixture because I find that it works great and I don’t have to clean another bowl!
Next, add the sprinkles! Sometimes I add a heaping ¼ cup of sprinkles if I’m feeling extra fancy!
For the sprinkles, make sure they are the rod-shaped ones, not those hard small sprinkles! The rod-shaped ones work best for this recipe!
Shape the cookies into 2 tablespoon sized balls and place 1 - 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet.
Bake them for 10 - 12 minutes. They will be lightly golden brown on the edges and a little soft in the middle.
Allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet, and place them on a plate to completely cool!
Serve with a hot cup of tea. Enjoy!

Notes
*Sprinkles
The rod-shaped sprinkles work best for this recipe, not the small hard round sprinkles.
Baking Time:
These cookies bake for 10 - 12 minutes. You might have to move the cookies to the top rack in your oven to make sure the tops of the cookies aren't raw.
When you take the cookies out of the oven the middle will be a little soft but you don't want them to be raw!
