I warned you that my sprinkle obsession was in full force this month. I can’t help it when my birthday is around the corner! Today I baked sprinkle sugar cookies and they instantly put me in the celebratory mood. Sprinkles get me excited and why shouldn’t they? They’re so colorful and give me every reason to celebrate. Put them in sugar cookies and this treat is just what every birthday needs.

Why this recipe works: These sugar cookies are chewy from the addition of an egg yolk and chilling the dough. The cookies are versatile for the holidays (just change the color of the sprinkles!)

How to make sprinkle sugar cookies

The base for this recipe is a basic sugar cookie dough. Flour, baking powder, salt, butter, sugar, egg, egg yolk and vanilla. The ratio of ingredients creates the absolute perfectly chewy sugar cookie—soft and thick with a buttery consistency.

To make the dough, whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla , and mix until combined. Finally, mix in the dry ingredients (avoid over mixing). Stir in the sprinkles last.

Roll in the dough into balls and chill for 30 minutes while the oven preheats. Chilling the dough will guarantee thick, chewy sugar cookies. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 F.
