Print Recipe

These sugar cookies can be made for any holiday occasion. Just switch out the cookie cutter to the desired shape for your holiday. The recipe makes a lot of cookies depending on the size of your cookie cutter, between 4 to 5 dozen.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 –3 Tablespoons Sprinkles (3 different colours)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl beat butter and sugar together. Add eggs one at a time and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt together.
  3. Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until the dough forms into a ball.
  4. Divide the dough into 3 even sections and using a spoon gently incorporate the sprinkles throughout each section of the dough. Flatten each ball of dough into a disc, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for one hour. Note: this step is important as you need the butter to firm up.
  5. Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  6. Flour a workstation and roll out dough to approx. 1/4 inch thick (note: at this stage, I sprinkled a few extra sprinkles on top and lightly rolled them into the top of the dough).
  7. Cut out desired shapes and place them on a baking sheet approx. 1 inch apart.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes or just until the bottoms start to brown.
  9. Remove baked cookies from the pan and cool on a cooling rack.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
