How to Make Sprinkle Sugar Cookie Bites
You will need two baking sheets, but do not line them with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, add softened butter and sugar. Mix with a hand mixer on medium-high speed until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla and continue to mix until fluffy.
Add flour and salt into a large bowl, and mix until cookie dough forms.
Separate the cookie dough into six balls.
Roll each ball of dough out into a long rope, about the width of your index finger.
Cut dough into 1 inch pieces, and gently roll each cookie dough ball in a small bowl of rainbow sprinkles.
Place cookies on baking sheets and bake until golden brown on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. The cookies will feel soft when they come out but will harden up as they cool down. Don’t worry! You’ll still be left with chewy cookies.
Should I Add Sprinkles Before or After Baking?
Make sure to add your sprinkles beforehand! You want them to stick to the cookies! If you add your sprinkles after the cookies are finished baking, the sprinkles won’t stick, and you’ll be left with a mess and plain sugar cookies.
How to Store Funfetti Cookies
Lucky you! You have some mini sugar cookies to spare! You can store leftover cookies in an airtight container on your counter for up to 5 days! Though I highly doubt they will last that long!
How to Turn Them Into Christmas Cookies
These cookies can easily be transformed into the perfect Christmas sugar cookie bites for the holidays. Simply swap out the type of sprinkles for red and green nonpareils or your favorite holiday sprinkles!
I hope you love these sugar cookie bites as much as we do (because we really, really, really love them!).

Hi! These cookies are so delicious and my kids love them!!! The only problem I had was sprinkles melted in the oven and they don’t look as pretty as yours. How can I avoid that?
Pamela says
Hey Amy, I find that some sprinkles melt more than others. Here’s the nonpareils that I use that I find work great: https://amzn.to/3mQD768
