11 Christmas Sprinkle Cookies Colorful Decorations

Classic Holiday Colors: Red and Green Sprinkles

These Christmas Sprinkle Cookies are a delightful and festive treat that perfectly embodies the holiday spirit with their vibrant red and green sprinkles. Soft, chewy, and visually stunning, these cookies are ideal for holiday gatherings, cookie exchanges, or simply to enjoy with family and friends. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these colorful cookies to spread joy and cheer during the holiday season.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This guarantees that your cookies bake evenly.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Use a whisk or fork to mix the ingredients together until they are fully combined. Set this mixture aside.
3. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Use an electric mixer or a sturdy spatula to cream the butter and sugars together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add eggs and vanilla: Once the butter and sugar mixture is fluffy, beat in the eggs one at a time, guaranteeing each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix the dough. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
6. Add sprinkles: Gently fold in the red and green sprinkles into the dough. Ascertain the sprinkles are evenly distributed throughout.
7. Scoop the dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
8. Add extra sprinkles: For an extra festive touch, sprinkle a few additional red and green sprinkles on top of each cookie dough ball before baking.
9. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look soft but set.
10. Cool the cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Enjoy: Once cool, serve your beautiful Christmas Sprinkle Cookies at your holiday festivities or store them in an airtight container for later enjoyment. Celebrate the season with each delicious bite!

5. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix gently until just combined—be cautious not to overmix. The resulting dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
6. Add sprinkles: Carefully fold in the red and green sprinkles, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
7. Scoop the dough: Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for cookie spreading.
8. Sprinkle with sugar crystals: Before baking, add a sprinkle of the sparkling sugar crystals on top of each cookie dough ball. This will create a lovely, frosty effect during baking.
9. Bake: Place the baking sheets into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still appear soft, but they will firm up as they cool.

Festive Edible Glitter for a Shimmering Touch

These Festive Edible Glitter decorations will elevate your Christmas Sprinkle Cookies to a new level of visual appeal. By adding shimmering edible glitter, your cookies will not only look stunning but also evoke the magic of the holiday season. Perfect for holiday gatherings or adding a personalized touch to your baked gifts, edible glitter can transform your treats into delightful shimmering gems that everyone will admire.

Instructions:

1. Prepare your area: Before starting, verify your workspace is clean and dry. Set up your cookies on a cooling rack or a flat surface to make decorating easier.
2. Make the glaze: In a small mixing bowl, combine the icing sugar and 2-3 teaspoons of water. Stir until a smooth, thick glaze forms. If you’d like to add color, mix in a drop or two of food coloring until you achieve your desired hue.
3. Apply the glaze: Using a small brush or a spoon, gently spread a thin layer of the glaze over the surface of each cooled cookie. Be sure to cover the areas where you want the glitter to adhere.
4. Add edible glitter: While the glaze is still wet, sprinkle the edible glitter generously on top of the glazed cookies. Make sure to fully coat the top for maximum shimmer. You can mix different colors of glitter to create a more festive look.
5. Let it dry: Allow the decorated cookies to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until the glaze has completely set. This verifies that the glitter adheres well and doesn’t fall off when handled.
6. Serve or store: Once the glitter is dry and the cookies are set, your festive creations are ready to serve! Alternatively, store them in an airtight container until you’re ready to share them with friends and family.

Themed Cookie Cutouts With Sprinkles

Themed Cookie Cutouts with Sprinkles are a delightful way to celebrate the holiday season. With a range of festive shapes, these cookies can be customized with colorful sprinkles that enhance their visual appeal. Ideal for holiday parties, gift-giving, or simply enjoying at home, these cookies allow for creativity while infusing the holiday spirit into your baking.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside as you prepare the wet ingredients.
3. Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
4. Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture until well combined. If you’re using food coloring, add it at this point to achieve your desired color.
5. Combine mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix the dough; it should come together nicely.
6. Chill the dough: Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the dough makes it easier to roll out and helps maintain the shape while baking.
7. Roll out the dough: On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about ¼ inch thick. Use themed cookie cutters, such as stars, trees, or snowflakes, to cut out shapes. Place the cutouts on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
8. Add sprinkles: Before baking, gently press colorful sprinkles onto the tops of each cookie to create a festive design. Make sure to do this before they go into the oven.
9. Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them, as baking times may vary depending on your oven.
10. Cool the cookies: Once done, remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Serve and enjoy: Your themed cookie cutouts adorned with sprinkles are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them at festive gatherings or share with friends and family for a sweet holiday treat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.

Marbled Icing With Colorful Sprinkle Accents

Marbled Icing with Colorful Sprinkle Accents is a fun and creative way to decorate your holiday cookies. This icing not only adds a glossy finish to the cookies but also brings a festive pop of color and whimsy. The marbling effect creates beautiful patterns, while the colorful sprinkles accentuate each design for an eye-catching treat that’s perfect for sharing or gifting during the holiday season.

Instructions:

1. Prepare your workspace: Start by gathering all of your ingredients and tools. Prepare a flat surface or baking sheet lined with parchment paper for decorating your cookies.
2. Make the base icing: In a medium bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps. Add the milk and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix with a whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Adjust the consistency as needed; if it’s too thick, add a little more milk, and if it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar.
3. Divide the icing: Once you have a smooth base, divide the icing into separate bowls depending on how many colors you want to use for marbling.
4. Add food coloring: Using food coloring, tint each portion of icing to your desired shades. Stir gently to combine the color evenly but be careful not to overmix, as you want to maintain some contrast for the marbling effect.
5. Create the marbled effect: Taking a clean toothpick or a skewer, dip it into one of the colored icings and then swirl it gently through the base icing in the bowl. Repeat this step with the different colors, but do not completely mix them; the goal is to create a beautiful marbled look.
6. Apply the icing: Once your icing has the desired marbled effect, dip the tops of your cooled themed cookies into the icing, allowing any excess to drip off. Alternatively, you can use a spoon to drizzle the icing over each cookie for more control.
7. Add sprinkles: While the icing is still wet, sprinkle your colorful sprinkles over the top of the cookies to guarantee they stick. Be generous with the sprinkles for a visually appealing finish.
8. Dry the cookies: Allow the cookies to sit at room temperature for at least 1-2 hours, or until the icing sets completely. This will guarantee that your beautiful marbling and sprinkles stay intact as you store or serve your cookies.
9. Enjoy or package them up: Once the icing is completely dry, enjoy your festive cookies as a sweet treat or package them up for holiday gifts!

Chocolate Drizzle With a Sprinkle Surprise

Chocolate Drizzle with a Sprinkle Surprise is a delightful twist on holiday cookie decorating. This technique involves adding a rich, decadent chocolate drizzle over your cookies, topped with a colorful array of sprinkles for a fun and festive look. It’s an easy way to elevate your holiday treats, making them not only delicious but also visually stunning!

Instructions:

1. Prep your cookies: Verify your cookies are baked, cooled, and ready to be decorated. Set them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (or shortening). Heat the mixture in the microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes total. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
3. Whisk for smoothness: Once melted, give the chocolate mixture a good stir to confirm it is fully combined and glossy.
4. Drizzle the chocolate: Using a spoon or a piping bag with the tip cut off, drizzle the melted chocolate over the tops of the cooled cookies. You can create swirls or zig-zag patterns, depending on your preference. Be playful with the design!
5. Add the sprinkles: While the chocolate drizzle is still warm and wet, generously sprinkle the colorful sprinkles over the top of each cookie. This will confirm that the sprinkles adhere well to the chocolate.
6. Allow to set: Let the cookies sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate drizzle has fully set. If you’re in a hurry, you can place the cookies in the refrigerator to speed up the setting process.
7. Serve and enjoy: Once the chocolate has hardened, your cookies are ready to be enjoyed! They make for a wonderful holiday treat or gift for friends and family.
