These soft chewy sprinkle sugar cookies are a quick and easy homemade treat perfect for lunchboxes, snacks, and casual get-togethers. They stay soft and chewy throughout the day with a fun colorful sprinkle crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups (345 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100 grams) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • About ½ cup (90 grams) rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading and improve texture.
  7. Scoop dough into rounded tablespoon-sized balls. Roll each ball in rainbow sprinkles to coat completely. Place on baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until edges start to turn golden but centers remain soft.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough before baking helps prevent spreading and improves texture. Do not overmix the dough once flour is added to avoid tough cookies. Remove cookies from oven when edges are set but centers still look soft for perfect chewiness. Parchment paper prevents sticking and browning on the bottoms.
