Holiday Sugar Sprinkled Butter Cookies
A delicious butter cookie dressed up for the holidays.
Servings: 3 1/2 dozen
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 egg
- 2 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Colored sprinkles or decorator sugar for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Combine 1 cup of sugar and ¾ cup of butter in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping the bowl often, until creamy.
- Add egg and continue beating until combined. Reduce speed to low and add flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat until combined.
- Place colored sugar in a small bowl. Shape dough into 1-inch balls using a cookie scoop. Dip the top of each dough ball in sugar.
- Place 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake for 10 to 14 minutes or until the edges are very lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheets to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container.
Notes
- I used decorator sugars but sprinkles will work well too.
- Nonpareils and jimmies will work too.
- Customized these butter cookies for special events by using school colors, brand logo colors, and more.
- Use different color sugars for different holidays.
