Make these simple, soft, and chewy Christmas sprinkle cookies without any chilling time. They are perfect for holiday cookie exchanges and festive gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond 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 (red, green, and white jimmies or nonpareils)
  • 1/4 cup extra Christmas sprinkles for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until just combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the 1/2 cup of Christmas sprinkles gently.
  7. Place the extra 1/4 cup of sprinkles in a shallow dish.
  8. Scoop the dough into balls, about 1.5 tablespoons each. Roll each dough ball completely in the extra sprinkles.
  9. Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them.
  10. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra soft Christmas cookies, use a mix of jimmies and nonpareils for the coating.
  • You can substitute almond extract with more vanilla if preferred, but almond adds a nice depth to holiday baking.
  • These cookies are excellent for cookie exchanges because they hold their shape well.
