Prep time: 20 minutes Bake time: 12 minutes Total time: 35 minutes Yield: About 4 dozen cookies
🛒 Ingredients
- 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- ½ cup Christmas sprinkles (red, green, and white)
- 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the vanilla extract and allow the mixture to cool completely.
- Mix the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar.
- Make the dough. Add the cooled butter mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir in the chocolate chips and Christmas sprinkles. The dough will be crumbly.
- Shape the cookies. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the baking sheet. Gently flatten each ball with your palm.
- Bake for about 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool and serve. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet briefly, then transfer them to a wire rack.
❤️ Tips for perfect cookies
- Let the melted butter cool completely before mixing.
- If the dough is too crumbly to hold together, gently press it with your hands.
- Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies tender and buttery.
- Store in an airtight container once completely cooled.
Enjoy these colorful, buttery Christmas cookies with a cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate! 🎄🍪
