Sprinkled And Dipped Sugar Cookies Recipes

SPRINKLE SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
• Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
• Cream the butter and sugars together in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until light in color and fluffy. You should be able to see the change in color happen and know it's ready.
• Add the egg and egg yolk and mix until well combined.
• Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until the dough is well combined, but don't over-mix. It will be thick and a little sticky.
• Fold in 1/2 cup of sprinkles, if you're mixing them into your cookie dough.
• Create 1 1/2 tablespoon sized balls of cookie dough. Gently roll the dough into a ball, then roll each ball in the additional sprinkles to coat them, if desired. Set the balls on the baking sheet.
• Bake cookies for 7-9 minutes. The cookies will spread and the centers will look soft, but should look done. Don't over-bake. The cookies will be a little puffy when you take them out of the oven but will fall a bit as they cool.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool on baking sheets for 4-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

SPRINKLE SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Make the cookies: Whisk the flour, confectioners' sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Beat in the vanilla, then beat in the sprinkles. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 325˚ F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough until 1/4 inch thick. (If the dough starts to crack, let it warm up for a few minutes before continuing.) Using a 2 1/2-inch fluted round cookie cutter, cut out cookies and arrange about 1 inch apart on one of the baking sheets. Gather the scraps, reroll and cut out more cookies.
• Bake until the cookies are lightly golden, about 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool 5 minutes on the pan, then remove to a rack to cool completely. Meanwhile, repeat with the remaining disk of dough.
• Make the icing: Mix the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and 3 teaspoons water, adding more water 1 teaspoon at a time until the icing is spreadable. Spread the mixed sprinkles on a plate in an even layer. Spread about 1 teaspoon icing on each cookie, then dip the cookie icing-side down in the sprinkles to coat. Let set 30 minutes.

SPRINKLED AND DIPPED SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, butter and egg until soft dough forms. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the sprinkles.
• Shape dough into 20 (1 1/2-inch) balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten slightly.
• Bake 9 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown on edges and set. Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• In small microwavable bowl, place 1/2 cup of the frosting. Stir in pink food color until blended. Microwave uncovered on High 10 to 15 seconds or until warmed and thinner consistency. Take half of the cookies, and working with one cookie at a time, dip halfway into warmed frosting; gently shake off excess. Place on cooling rack placed over cookie sheet or waxed paper. If frosting has cooled too much, reheat as needed. Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons of the remaining sprinkles on dipped half of each cookie. In another small microwavable bowl, place remaining 1/2 cup frosting; stir in blue food color until blended. Repeat microwaving and dipping with remaining cookies. Sprinkle remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons sprinkles on dipped half of each cookie. Let stand about 3 hours or until set.
• Store covered in airtight container at room temperature with waxed paper between layers.

UNC DIPPED SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, butter and egg until soft dough forms.
• Shape dough into 24 (1 1/2-inch) balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten slightly.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown on edges and set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• In medium microwavable bowl, place frosting. Microwave uncovered on High 20 to 30 seconds or until warmed and thin enough for dipping. Working with one cookie at a time, dip halfway into warmed frosting; gently shake and slide bottom of cookie on edge of bowl to remove excess. Place on cooling rack placed over cookie sheet or waxed paper. Sprinkle candy sprinkles or decorating sugar on dipped half of each cookie. Repeat dipping and sprinkling with remaining cookies. If frosting has cooled too much, reheat as needed. Let stand about 3 hours or until set.
• Store covered in airtight container at room temperature with waxed paper between layers.

SPRINKLED SUGAR SKILLET COOKIE

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with about 1 tablespoon of the butter.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl. Beat the remaining butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla, beating to incorporate. Add the flour mixture in 2 additions, beating on medium-low speed until incorporated.
• Use a rubber spatula to scrape the dough into the prepared skillet, gently spreading it to the edges and smoothing the top. Bake until the edges are brown, and the top is golden but still slightly soft, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack 15 minutes.
• To make the glaze, whisk the milk and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar together in a small bowl. (If the glaze is too thin add another tablespoon confectioners' sugar.) Drizzle the glaze over the cookie and top with the rainbow sprinkles. Slice into wedges and serve warm.
