Two soft, buttery vanilla sugar cookies filled with festive holiday sprinkles for an easy small batch Christmas treat!
Ingredients
Dough
- 2 Tbsp (28g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 Tbsp (24g) granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup (50g) all purpose flour
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp sprinkles of your choice (I recommend jimmies, the long, rod shaped sprinkles)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the softened butter and sugar until creamy.
- Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Whisk for 1–2 minutes, until the mixture looks smooth and fluffy.
- Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Fold together until just combined.
- Add the sprinkles and gently fold them into the dough.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a round mound. To smooth out the edges, place a glass around each mound of dough and move it in a circular motion and then lightly press down with the bottom of the glass to flatten it slightly.
- Refrigerate the cookies for 5 minutes.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet before serving.
