How to Make Funfetti Sprinkle Sugar Cookie Bites
Okay, now that you’re craving something sweet, let’s gather our ingredients and start baking! Luckily these cookies require simple ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. You’ll need:
Funfetti Sprinkle Sugar Cookie Bites Ingredients
- Butter
- Sugar
- Eggs
- Vanilla
- All-purpose flour
- Salt
- Rainbow Sprinkles (or whatever color you want to use!)
Funfetti Sprinkle Sugar Cookie Bites Instructions
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 Sprinkle Sugar Cookie Bites
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!

These Christmas sugar cookie bites are delicious, festive, and only take 10 minutes of baking time to whip together! If you need a quick and easy cookie recipe for a last-minute Christmas party, these will be your new go-to for the holiday season!

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
