These Fall Sprinkle Cookies are easy to make, combining soft cookie centers with a bit of crunch from the colorful sprinkles. They are perfect for any festive occasion, adding a splash of color and happiness to your gatherings.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) or 160°C fan oven. Line the cookie sheets with parchment paper or spray them with non-stick spray. Set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstrach, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, beat the room temperature butter and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined.
Add the whole eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Blend well.
Add the dry ingredients to the mixture. Mix thoroughly, scraping the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
Shape the dough into balls using a 2-inch cookie scoop. Place the sprinkles in a shallow bowl. Roll each dough ball in the sprinkles until fully covered.
Gently flatten the dough balls into disk shapes and arrange them on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden but the centers remain soft and chewy. Avoid overbaking to prevent the cookies from becoming too hard.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
If you're using salted butter, cut down on the added salt to keep the flavor just right.
Try out different sprinkle colors to match the theme of your event or season.
Let the cookies cool down completely on the baking sheet to avoid breaking them when moving.
Keep the cookies in an airtight container to stay fresh for up to 3 days or you can freeze them for up to 3 months.
