Brightly colored SpRiNkLeS are what make these Gooey Sprinkle Cookies (a.k.a. Gooey Butter Cookies) so much fun! Not only are they sweet and delicious, but they’re made to match any holiday or occasion! How fun is that! Gooey Sprinkle CookiesI’ve been making Gooey Sprinkle Cookies for years and years. In fact, they’re about as basic as a chocolate chip cookie. Most everyone has this recipe! I remember getting my copy of this recipe from a friend of my daughters, who said she’s been making them for years. I’d love to give credit where credit is due, but I have no idea where or when this recipe originated.

With only a few basic ingredients, this cookie batter is ready for the oven in a matter of minutes! The magic of mine is the sprinkles! I mean come on, why make them without a little fun ever again?Gooey Sprinkle CookiesI choose pink, orange, and yellow for two reasons. First, we were delivering these cookies to some new neighbors that moved in down the block and they have two little girls (and what little girl doesn’t love these fun colors), and second, it was HOT here today and these colors reminded me of a hot sunny summer day!! I made these same cookies for the 4th of July, and you guessed it, the sprinkles were red, white, and blue.

Gooey Sprinkle CookiesAfter mixing the cookie batter, I measured out 1/4 cup of sprinkles and stirred them into the batter using a spoonula. I apologize this picture is a bit deceptive, but I neglected to move my mixer until I began to hand stir the sprinkles.

Two things about cookie baking that I’ve learned over the years, is to always use a Silpat (silicone liner) on my baking sheet and I always use a cookie scoop to keep the cookies uniform in size. After the dough was scooped I rolled them in a very generous amount of powdered sugar.
