Santa’s Simple Sugar Sprinkle Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 cup sprinkles (plus more for decorating)

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep:
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar:
   In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
4. Add Wet Ingredients:
   Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and milk until fully combined.
5. Combine:
   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup of sprinkles.
6. Form Cookies:
   Roll tablespoon-sized balls of dough, place them on the prepared baking sheets, and flatten slightly with your palm. Add extra sprinkles on top if desired.
7. Bake:
   Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake—they should be soft.
8. Cool and Serve:
   Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your festive sugar cookies with a sprinkle of joy! 🎉🍪
