Welcome to Day 4 of the 12 Days of Cookies! Today’s treat is a scrumptiously delicious cookie!! Santa’s Favorite Sprinkle Cookies have a lovely vanilla flavor that tastes similar to a sugar cookie. It’s also light and flaky. I can see why Santa likes them so much!
Let’s get started!
Cream butter, sugar and vanilla together.
Beat in eggs one at a time. Since I’m making a half batch, I’m only using one egg.
Add in half the flour, baking powder, baking soda and cream of tartar. Stir well.
Add 1/2 cup sprinkles. Keep adding flour 1/4 cup at a time until dough is not sticky. It will be hard to mix.
Use a cookie scoop to scoop cookie dough. You can leave as is or roll into balls. Roll in extra sprinkles if you like. I decided not to.
Place on baking sheet. Bake at 350F for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are a light golden brown.
I just cook until edges are a just turning a golden color. The cookies may seem slightly undercooked. Let cool slightly before removing to cooling rack.
Enjoy with a glass of milk. These are scrumptious!! It’s hard to eat just one.
