Here is the recipe in my own words:

Sprinkle Cookies are the best easy sugar cookies that turn out soft and chewy with so many colorful sprinkles. You dont even have to wait for the butter and cream cheese to warm up or chill the dough like other recipes require. All you do is preheat your oven to 375°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Then cube up 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter and 4 oz of cold cream cheese. Mix those with 1 cup of granulated sugar until they start to blend together even though it might still look a little chunky. Next, add in one large egg and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. In another bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix the dry ingredients gradually into the wet mixture until you get a soft dough and then fold in 1 cup of rainbow sprinkles carefully so you dont overwork it.

Now, scoop about a tablespoon of the dough onto your cookie sheet spaced a couple inches apart. If you really want extra sprinkles, just press some on top of each cookie. Bake for about 10-12 minutes until the edges turn light golden. They might look soft but they firm up as they cool. Enjoy your cookies and the fun way these little treats come together in no time!

• Unsalted butter gives moisture and rich flavor that makes cookies tender and perfectly buttery.
• Cold cream cheese adds a luxurious tang and creaminess, balancing cookie sweetness real well.
• Granulated sugar supplies sweet carbohydrates that contribute to a finished crisp edge in each bite.
• Egg acts as a binding agent and adds a bit of protein for a sturdier dough.
• Vanilla extract infuses a warm, sweet aroma that nicely lifts the overall taste.
• All-purpose flour is the base that gives structure and a satisfying chewy texture.
• Baking soda helps the dough rise a bit, giving cookies a soft, cakey feel.

FAQ

EASY, No Chill Sprinkle Cookies ~ Two Sugar Bugs Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• If you dont have unsalted butter, try using cold margarine or coconut oil in the same amount.
• You can swap the cream cheese with full fat Greek yogurt or even coconut cream for a different twist.
• Instead of granulated sugar, you might wanna use light brown sugar or even coconut sugar, though it might change the flavor a bit.
• If you’re out of a large egg, you could make a flax egg by mixing 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds with 3 tablespoons of water.

Pro Tips

1. Make sure your butter and cream cheese are extra cold before you start. It helps them mix better with the sugar and stops the dough from becoming too soft.

2. When you’re cutting up the butter and cream cheese, try to make the pieces as even as possible so every bite of the cookie gets that nice texture.

3. Be careful not to overmix when adding the flour. Over stirring can make the cookies tough, and they’re supposed to be soft and chewy.

4. If you’re into extra sprinkles, gently press a few on top of the dough just before baking. This makes the cookies look even more fun and colorful without messing up the dough.
