    Who doesn't love sprinkles? They're such a fun and easy way to add a pop of color to any dessert. I love using sprinkles in everything from these easy sprinkle cookies to my Oreo Pie Crust with Sprinkles.

    This sprinkle cookie recipe is simple and easy to make and requires no chill time so it's pretty fast too! No thawing butter or room temperature ingredients are needed either so you can go straight from seeing this recipe to making it with practically no wait time in between.

    If you want to impress you can never go wrong with giant rainbow sprinkle cookies. These cookies are about 6 ounces each and the size of an adult's fist, making them as impressive to look at as they are to eat.

    Check out how to Make Giant Sprinkle Cookies with these simple step-by-step instructions:

    1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
    2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter with the sugar for about 1 minute until light and fluffy.

    🧾 Substitutions

    Butter: you can use either salted or unsalted butter for this cookie recipe. I personally LOVE to use salted butter for everything and always have it on hand so that is what I opt for in my cookies. When using salted you can choose to omit or leave in the additional salt, but I always leave it in anyways because salt is a flavor enhancer and definitely helps to bring out the flavors in the cookies.

    📖  Variations

    Sprinkles: I highly recommend only using the jimmie type of sprinkles when making these sugar cookies with sprinkles because they are soft enough that there's not much texture added to the soft cookies and they're solid enough not to dissolve or have colors run.

    The peril sprinkles are hard balls that add a LOT of crunch to the cookies and confetti sprinkles are hit or miss on dissolving in baked goods.

    You can use any color of jimmie sprinkles when making this cookies with sprinkles recipe. I like rainbow because they're bright and fun for any occasion but you can opt for a seasonal color blend or one befitting of a party theme. Just a swap of color here or there can have these cookies ready for anything!

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    Recipe Scaling. This recipe can be scaled up or down but I find it's best to leave it where it is and just make smaller cookies when wanting to make a larger batch. Each batch makes 6 cookies but if you divide the dough out into 2 inch sized balls you'll get about 12 cookies.

    Storage. These cookies will last up to 5 days in an airtight container at room temperature. They taste best when fresh and warm from the oven because of the soft centers so I definitely recommend eating them sooner rather than later.

    Make ahead: If you plan on making these cookies in advance you can portion out the dough balls as directed and keep them in the freezer or fridge in an airtight container. Place the dough on the counter to thaw as the oven preheats before baking. If cooking from frozen you may need to add an extra minute or two to the total bake time.
