🍪 Halloween Sprinkle Sugar Cookies
Ingredients:
-
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
-
¾ cup sugar
-
1 large egg
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1½ cups all-purpose flour
-
½ tsp baking soda
-
¼ tsp salt
-
¼ cup Halloween sprinkles
-
Candy eyeballs or mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
Prep the Dough
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix
Add egg and vanilla; mix until combined. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until a soft dough forms. Fold in sprinkles.
Shape & Decorate
Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place on baking sheet. Lightly press down. Add candy eyeballs or chocolate chips on top.
Bake
Bake for 9–11 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
Cool & Serve
Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Serve once cooled.
Pro Tip:
To keep sprinkles from bleeding into the dough, gently fold them in by hand at the end — and use jimmies or nonpareils for the best look.
