Soft, sugary & ultra chewy; meet your new favorite sugar cookie recipe! Hello Sprinkled Sugar Cookies. The cookie dough comes together easily and quickly, no chilling time necessary and they bake up beautifully in 10 minutes!

ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter (softened to room temperature)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 Large Egg (room temperature)
- 1/2 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Almond Extract
- 2 1/4 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- Additional sugar or sprinkles for rolling*
instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder and baking soda. Stir dry ingredients together for a few seconds to just mix it together. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl cream butter and sugar together using a hand held mixer or stand mixer on medium speed. Mix for 2-3 minutes so butter is light and fluffy. Add in egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Continue mixing until egg and both extracts are combined. Turn the mixer speed to low and slowly add in dry ingredients. Continue mixing on low speed until dry ingredients are fully incorporated and cookie dough is formed.
- Pour additional sugar or sprinkles (or both) onto a small plate for rolling. Scoop 1.5 tablespoon sized dough balls and roll each one in between your palms to make a circular shape. Roll individual dough balls in sugar/ sprinkles until completely covered. Place dough balls on cookie sheet about 2 inches apart, you may need to make smaller batches at a time. Using the bottom of a small drinking glass, light press on top of each cookie to slightly flatten it. Do not completely flatten, cookies should still be thick. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove cookies from oven and all to cool for about 15 minutes so the cookies have time to firm up slightly. Serve immediately.
notes
I used Wilton rainbow nonpareils that come in a 3 oz bottle. To completely cover all 20 cookies with sprinkles I used 1.5, 3 oz bottles of rainbow sprinkles. If using regular sugar you’ll need about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of sugar for rolling.
