Halloween Sprinkle Sugar Cookies Recipe:
Follow these steps to make a batch of delicious, festive sugar cookies that are sure to brighten any Halloween celebration.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Halloween-themed sprinkles for decoration
Directions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
- Shape and Coat in Sprinkles: Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Roll each dough ball in Halloween sprinkles until it is well coated.
- Flatten and Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the sprinkle-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and very lightly browned around the edges. Be careful not to overbake for a soft texture.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
