My friend Little E came to visit me recently because he wanted to make some cookies. I am not too sure if he was visiting me or my sprinkle drawer, but we had a fun time regardless. He loves all colored sprinkles and sugars- but can you blame him? They come in so many pretty colors, sizes and shapes that the possibilities for creations are endless.
Obviously, from the size of my sprinkle drawer, I too have a thing for sprinkles, so I'm glad to have a friend who is willing to spend the entire afternoon playing in my sprinkle drawer with me. I knew we would need a cookie where sprinkles would be the star, and Mini Me's chewy sugar cookie recipe was perfect. She got the recipe from her friend T many years ago when they were in grade school and has been making them for any and all occasions since 3rd grade. Although she is back at school and couldn't join our sprinkle party, I borrowed her recipe because I knew they would be the perfect to make with a three year old.
These cookies are super fast to put together, and can be decorated for just about any holiday or theme you can imagine. They bake up soft and chewy in just a few minutes, which is especially important when you have an eager taste tester at the ready.
Mini Me's Sprinkle Cookies
2 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
sprinkles
1. Mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
2. In mixing bowl cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually beat in the dry ingredients.
3.Shape into 1 to 1 1/2 inch balls. Moisten the top of the ball with either buttermilk or milk (this helps the sprinkle adhere to the cookie. However, Little E and I skipped this step and went straight to the sprinkles) and dip in sprinkles.
5.Place on cookie sheet lined with a slipat and bake. In a regular oven at 375 for 10 minutes or convection oven at 350 for about 8 minutes.

I'm glad to see someone else with a sprinkle drawer! I think yours beats mine - I'm envious. The cookies sound yummy and look pretty!
What a blessing you and Little E are to each other and to be able to share such fun! Irrestible!
Those are such happy cookies! Sprinkles make me happy too- I love your sprinkle drawer! :)
they look really adorable! perfect for kids
This looks like a great sugar cookie recipe so I pinned it.
Sounds like a fun day! Man, you have an organized and full sprinkle drawer. Hard to find sprinkles where I live. but I think I do have some rainbow sugar that I bought at Dean & DeLuca which will be perfect with this cookie recipe. Might have to give it a try tomorrow as now it is bedtime. I have been cooking and baking up a storm lately. Wishing you all the best, Tammy
Wow, look at your drawer...so many colors and choices :)
These cookies are so cute, love how you decorated them.
Hope you have a great week ahead Mimi!
I love your sprinkle drawer! I can only imagine the fun that a 3 year old would have making these cookies. They look so soft and chewy.
sprinkles automatically make everything more fun. :)
Sprinkles are the only reason to eat cookies!
That is an impressive sprinkle drawer. I can only imagine how long it took for a 3 year old to decide on which sprinkles to use. I'll have to remember this idea to make with my grandson.
I love your sprinkle drawer! That's the best part of this post. :)
The cookies look yummy too.
I could really go for one of these cookies right now. They look great.
Mimi, I would be much delighted to spend my time with you playing with the sprinkle drawer. So much variety, it would definitely be fun and creative :-)
Delicious cookies too!
My kids have been begging us to make sprinkle cookies - this are quite convincing! They look very nice.
Wow! I'd love to visit your kitchen to see the sprinkle drawer also. Your cookies look fantastic!
Have a magical Monday!
I did make the cookies -- twice, and they were delicious! Mine didn't come out quite as thick and chewy as yours though. I seem to have a problem with overbaking. Having a gas oven isn't always easy to work with. :/ Have posted the link for the recipe to your blog today. Best wishes, Tammy
oh these cookies are way too fun- love all the colors!
Wonderful cookies, great recipe! Thanks for sharing with us.
