sugar cookie recipes — Christmas Sprinkle Sugar Cookies

A couple of years ago I made a Funfetti Sprinkle Sugar Cookie for my 12 days of Christmas Cookies series and it was so good. The video blew up and so many people loved them. WELL of course I had to turn that recipe into a more christmasy version to celebrate the season.

You can use any type of Christmas sprinkles that you’d like! I use Christmas colored jimmies that are dark green, light green, white and red. The ones I specifically love are from Hobby Lobby. The flavor is just unreal and doesn’t even compare to other sprinkles.

Welcome to my 12 Days of Christmas Cookie Series

Every year, I do a Christmas cookie series in the months of November and December called my 12 days of Christmas cookie series. I share 12 new different Christmas Cookie recipes and you guys seem to love them AND I love doing it, so it has become my tradition.

This is my 5th year doing this series and it truly is so much fun. Baking during Christmas time is so nostalgic and special. Sharing all of these cookie recipes, really gives me a fun excuse to try out new flavors.

Here are some of my favorite Christmas cookie recipes:

Representing all the Christmas flavors in my series is a high priority. I LOVEEEE the cozy flavors of Peppermint, Cinnamon, Gingerbread, Nutmeg, Peanut Butter and Chocolate, Hot Cocoa, brown sugar, marshmallow, caramel, and love to make cookies inspired by them in my series.

What Should I Make These For?

This is the PERFECT cookie recipe for the holiday season. The flavors are festive and are sure to please a crowd. You could make these cookies for Christmas, or anytime throughout the season. They would be a wonderful recipe for a holiday family get together or to make for Santa on Christmas Eve.

Making them with your kids, best friend, bf or gf or spouse, would be such a fun festive holiday activity!! OR you could even make them for your neighbors, a cookie exchange, essential workers in your community, your church family or school teachers. Cookies always make such a kind and thoughtful gift. They’re also personal and affordable. The holidays are the best time to give homemade gift and spread the spirit of Christmas.
