Sprinkle Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sprinkle Cookies

Our boys LOVE sprinkles. They will eat anything if there are sprinkles on top. I may try putting sprinkles on vegetables, ha! I love sprinkles too. Who doesn’t? They are bright, fun, and happy!

Whenever I ask the boys what cookies I should bake, 9 out of 10 times they yell, “Sprinkle Chocolate Chip Cookies.” They LOVE these sprinkle cookies! I don’t blame them, they are SO fun and SO delicious! Chocolate chip cookies with colorful sprinkles? Count me in!

Rainbow Sprinkles

Sprinkles

Sprinkle Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

How to Make

Basically, I mix up a bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough and stir in lots of colorful sprinkles. It’s that easy! I also roll the cookies in sprinkles before putting them in the oven to make sure there are LOTS of sprinkles. Warning, you might find sprinkles on your kitchen floor for a few days, but I promise it’s worth it:)

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the dry ingredients and set aside.
  • Using a stand mixer, cream butter and sugars together for about 3 minutes. Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. With the mixer on low, slowly add in the dry ingredients. Stir in the chocolate chips. Gently fold in 3/4 cup of the sprinkles. Stir carefully so you don’t smash up the sprinkles.
  • Form the cookie dough into balls, about 2 tablespoons of dough. Roll the cookies in the remaining sprinkles, covering the entire cookie dough ball. This is the fun part! You can even let the kids help, if you don’t mind a little mess:)
  • Place cookies on prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt, a must if you ask me:)
  • Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and cool completely.

How to Store

The sprinkle chocolate chip cookies will keep in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the cookies for up to one month.

If you want to freeze the cookie dough, roll the cookies into balls and place them on a baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes or until the cookies are solid. Transfer the cookie dough balls to a freezer bag or container and freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to bake, remove from the freezer, place on a baking sheet, and bake! You don’t have to defrost the cookie dough, just add a few additional minutes to the baking time.

  1. They look so festive and fun! I’ve gotta admit I love sprinkles too – my grandma sometimes took us for ice cream and I’d always get the sprinkles on top. Smart idea on adding something to celebrate to moving, I think it’s always hard to leave a house behind. 

    Have a great week! 

  2. Sprinkles on vegetables actually doesn’t sound like a bad idea…I might like them more that way, too!
    These cookies look so SO fun!

  3. I’m not a huge sprinkle person, so I would most likely put the sprinkles inside the cookies…just the first 3/4 but yeah, I would totally make this.

  4. sprinkles make everything better, don’t they?! this looks so crispy, crunchy, and goooood.

  5. These are so stinking cute!! Not to mention how delicious they look, too. So perfect for summer parties or birthdays!

  6. Is it possible to see a sprinkle bedazzled treat and not smile? Caleb is a very smart boy! 🙂 I think I’ll make these the next time my nephews come to visit. So fun!

  7. I made these yesterday. They are really good! I will be honest, I was a little nervous about the amount of flour but the end product was perfect. Our friends asked if they were store bought! And the sprinkles were a hit with my kids!
    Thanks for a great recipe! Adding to my book.

    Best,

  8. This may be one of my favorite recipes from your kitchen!  If you are making a cookbook, please please include this one!  This and the Loaded Baked Gnocchi! Delicious! 

  9. Hey please tell me the replacement of egg as I’m a vegetarian and we don’t eat eggs and in a lot of your cookie recipes there is egg. Want to try it but don’t know what to replace the egg with

  10. 5 stars
    these came out wonderfully!  not only colorful, but the ratio of chocolate ensured every nibble was delicious. i used a mix of bittersweet (1.5 c) and 60% cocoa (1c) and all the kids and adults were smiling even before we started singing happy birthday to my three year old!  without a doubt, these were a total hit!

  11. The best cookies ever!! my son loved as well my grandpa haha I baked them one month ago and forgot to pin it! I was looking for this recipe 1 entire week!! I’ll bake them again! this time for my son’s classmates !! 🙂 Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe ! <3

  12. Maria,
    Love, love, love getting your emails with all those yummy recipes. Now I’m excited to try making some of these lovely cookies. Hopefully I don’t eat to many.
    WIshing you and your family the best Holiday Season. Stay well and thank you for sharing your awesome recipes

  13. We made these yesterday and they are so yummy and festive. For us, a teaspoon of salt was too much to begin with so we omitted the extra salt at the end. Next time, we’ll probably do just 1/2 tsp of salt.

    Thanks as always for the delicious recipes!

  14. I made the recipe and refrigerated the dough last night then baked cookies this morning. I only used 1/4 cup of the white sugar since one of the comments said cookies were very sweet. Turned out very good and will make them again. Almost my signature cookie since my last name is Sprinkle! Thank you, love your recipes.
