Sprinkle Cookies – this easy sugar cookie recipe is full of sprinkles with a dairy-free option! Make them colorful for Valentine’s Day or any day!
I am OBSESSED with sprinkles. I love every single color. I have a full drawer stuffed with them. I buy the rainbow ones in bulk and am always buying holiday jimmies even when I don’t need them because I never want to run out. I have makeup kits that are sprinkled and the wallpaper on my phone is a pic I snapped 5 years ago of the inside of a sprinkles jar.
My 40th birthday party later this year? Rainbow Sprinkle themed.
My obsession with sprinkles is probably why I make lots of funfetti desserts, and why I’m always making pudding cookies with sprinkles (like, for the 4th of July or Santa or Cupid or a random party). I even made cookies with sprinkles for my favorite football team to win the Super Bowl…although since Mel and I like different teams this year I’m not going to spill who I’m rooting for (*cough* go black and red *cough*).
ANYWAY, my point is I LOVE SPRINKLES. So it’s not surprising that I added them to my favorite sugar cookie recipe. By adding lots of crunchy sprinkles to the batter, they don’t need frosting, which makes them healthier. DUH. And, it also makes them easier to make for kids with allergies. I made these dairy-free with one little substitution: butter-flavored shortening sticks. One of my daughter’s friends has to avoid dairy products so I’m always using those Crisco sticks to make her cookies and cakes.
Sprinkles = no frosting = no dairy to avoid. Dairy-free frosting is hard to make taste good. Besides, I love sprinkles more than I love frosting.
These cookies are so versatile. You can add rainbow sprinkles, which I like best. Leave them plain, or you can even dip them in melted chocolate. I did that with some of these just because they’re so pretty (and extra yummy) dipped in dark and white chocolate.
You can also make them with ANY color sprinkles you like. Is it close to Valentine’s Day, by chance? Use red and pink. Christmas? Red and green. 4th of July, Halloween, Easter…there is ALWAYS a way to decorate these cookies for your favorite holiday.
