Soft Sprinkle Cookies
Unicorns adore soft sprinkle cookies because of their vibrant colours that remind them of the rainbow. These soft sprinkle cookies are a soft and chewy cookie, littered with lot’s and lot’s of sprinkles. I mean have you seen a happier cookie? There’s no chill time with this cookie and they’re super simple to make. What’s more, they take 10 minutes to bake!
3. The ingredients you’ll need
All-purpose flour – also known as plain flour.
Cake flour – cake flour is a low gluten flour mixed with corn starch. It results in a lighter cookie. You can buy store bought cake flour. You want the plain one, not the self-raising one. Or you can make your own by mixing 1 cup (minus 1 tbsp) with 1 tbsp of corn starch. Sieve them together 3 times.
Baking powder – Baking powder helps these cookie rise.
Butter – I used softened, unsalted butter. Make sure your butter I softened to room temp. 18 – 20C / 65 – 67F.
Caster sugar – also known as superfine sugar.
Salt – I used fine salt.
Vanilla Extract – Always use good quality vanilla extract when baking, it makes a huge difference. I have a great recipe here for it if you’d like to try your own!
Eggs – I used one egg yolk in this recipe and one whole egg. I used large eggs. The addition of the egg yolk helps give this cookie a slightly chewy texture.
Sprinkles – I would recommend using the really good sprinkles call jimmies.
4. How to make Soft Sprinkle Sugar Cookies
It’s a really simple recipe and you probably already have the ingredients in your cupboard ready to go!
Instructions
- Preheat a fan forced oven to 180C / 350F. Line two baking trays with baking paper. To a large bowl, add both the flours, baking powder and salt and use a whisk to combine. Set aside.
- To a separate large bowl add the butter, sugar and vanilla extract. Use an electric beater to beat until pale and creamy, about 3 minutes.
- Add the dry ingredients and half the sprinkles and use a spatula to mix until a dough forms.
- Use a large ice-cream scoop (about 3 tbsp per cookie) to scoop out 8 cookie balls.
- Roll them into round balls and then roll around in the sprinkles.
- Add them to two baking trays, squash down slightly and bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.
5. What Kind of Sprinkles Should I Use?
There are many different kinds of sprinkles but jimmies are the best kind for these cookies. Here are the differences:
Jimmies – are long, soft, and colourful. They make the inside of the cookies a rainbow and are perfect for these cookies.

7. Tips
- For almond flavor, replace one teaspoon of vanilla extract with one teaspoon of almond extract.
- To use another kind of sprinkles, be sure to press firmly when rolling the dough ball in the sprinkles. Larger sprinkles sometimes resist sticking to the dough.
- To make sugar sprinkle cookies, replace the nonpareils with colored sugar.
- This is a great recipe for any holiday and birthday parties! Just vary the colors of your sprinkles to match the holiday or use rainbow sprinkles year round.
