These cookies are soft, buttery, and perfectly sweet, with a shimmering sugar coating that resembles the sparkling lights of Times Square. They’re perfect for holiday gatherings, gift-giving, or simply enjoying with a hot cup of cocoa.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This guarantees that your cookies bake evenly.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until combined. Be careful not to overmix; just blend until there are no dry flour patches.
6. Shape the Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough. Roll each portion into a ball and then gently roll the balls in the colored sugar sprinkles, making sure they’re well coated.
7. Bake the Cookies: Place the sugared dough balls on ungreased baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
