Christmas Sprinkle Cookies

Christmas sprinkle cookies are a wonderful combination of soft, buttery cookies and vibrant, sweet sprinkles that scream “holiday fun!” They are colorful, festive, and easy to make, making them the perfect addition to any holiday cookie platter or gift tin. Whether you’re baking with kids or making a batch to share with friends and family, these cookies will bring smiles and holiday cheer to everyone who tastes them.

Are these the same as the Sprinkle-Rolled Sugar Cookies?

Not quite! The sprinkle-rolled sugar cookies are true classic sugar cookie. Soft and chewy, and rolled in crunchy sprinkles for added texture – they’re delicious! These sprinkle cookies have more brown sugar in them and more vanilla flavor. The cookie base is similar to that of a chocolate chip cookie.

What kind of sprinkles should I use?

I highly recommend using jimmies -they are soft and hold their color and shape while baking. The fun thing about these cookies is they are easy to customize for any event or occasion! Simply change the sprinkle colors. Let’s get baking!
