Melt in your Mouth Butter Cookies
Dreaming of Christmas cookies in August led me to make these Sprinkled Butter Cookies which are sooooo good! The ingredients list is short and simple, using butter as the main ingredient that keeps them so soft and melt in your mouth. The other key ingredient for these Sprinkled Butter Cookies is evaporated milk which is going to keep them super fluffy and light. Roll around in your favorite colored sprinkles and you have a festive butter cookie – perfect for whenever you’re craving a cookie! Love sprinkles?

How to Make the Best Butter Cookies
Make the crumbly cookie dough by mixing butter, sugar, flour, baking powder, vanilla and evaporated milk together, using a hand mixer. Pour sprinkles on a plate or a shallow bowl. I used rainbow sprinkles but you can use whatever color you want depending on the season or holiday! Roll each cookie into a ball, and then roll in sprinkles so it’s completely covered. Place cookies onto a baking sheet. I like to cover mine with silicone baking mats. And then gently flatten each cookie with a back of a spoon. Bake at 320 degrees (not a typo, we want to bake them at a low temperature for longer) for about 20 minutes. And out of the oven comes some beautiful Sprinkled Butter Cookies!
Can I freeze the cookie dough?
Absolutely! Make the dough as instructed and then you can either freeze as one large piece of dough, or roll and freeze smaller balls. After you defrost the dough, roll in sprinkles and bake as you would. Hope you enjoy these Sprinkle Butter Cookies recipe! Pin for later:
