- Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and ensure that the Butter and Egg are at room temperature. Cream the Butter and Granulated Sugar together with a hand mixer in a large mixing bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment on medium speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. The butter mixture will be light and fluffy.
- Mix in the Egg and Vanilla Extract before adding the Vegetable Oil and Powdered Sugar. Continue to cream together for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add the remaining dry ingredients until combined.
- Stir the Festive Sprinkles into the cookie dough by hand.
- Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of cookie dough (you can use a #50 cookie scoop) into a small bowl of coarse sugar.
- Roll the ball of dough in the coarse sugar and top with additional Colorful Sprinkles if desired before baking.
- Place Christmas Sugar cookie dough balls on your prepared cookie sheets and place them in the preheated oven.
- Bake cookies for 7-9 minutes, until the edges are set. Do not overbake.
- Remove from the oven and immediately swirl one of your large cookie cutters (or the rim of a drinking glass) gently around the edges of the baked cookies to form them into perfect circles.
- For best results, allow the soft sugar cookies to rest for a minute before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Storage
- Store: To maintain the freshness and softness of your cookies, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. Stack cookies with parchment paper or waxed paper in between layers to prevent the sprinkles from causing the cookies to stick to each other. They will keep well for up to 4-5 days, and are best when enjoyed within 2-3 days.
- Freeze Baked Cookies: Place your cooled cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet and flash freeze. Once they’re frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag, making sure to separate the layers with some parchment paper. Gently squeeze out as much air as possible in order to prevent freezer burn. They can be kept frozen for up to 3 months. When you're ready to enjoy them, remove the cookies from the freezer and allow them to return to room temperature on the counter. This is a great way to prep ahead for the holidays.
- Freeze Cookie Dough Balls: Place the scooped cookie dough balls on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer the frozen dough balls to a freezer bag and place them in the freezer. You can keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, remove the frozen cookie dough balls from the freezer and allow them to sit at room temperature on a baking sheet for 30 minutes before baking. Then simply bake as directed in the recipe.
