🎄 Christmas Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookies
Soft, buttery, chewy, and loaded with chocolate chips and festive Christmas sprinkles, these cookies are perfect for holiday cookie trays, Christmas parties, or sharing with family and friends. 🍪❤️
Ingredients
- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup red, green, and white Christmas sprinkles
- Extra sprinkles and chocolate chips, for topping
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together for 2–3 minutes, until light and creamy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth and well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Mix just until a soft cookie dough forms. Do not overmix.
6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and Christmas sprinkles.
7. Scoop the dough into balls, about 2 tablespoons each, and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
8. Press a few extra chocolate chips and festive sprinkles onto the tops for a more colorful Christmas look.
9. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers still look slightly soft.
10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
