I don’t know what it is about July but I usually start thinking about holiday season around this time of the year. Between me going to the library to check out a Christmas stories book, a friend telling me she’s already begun her shopping and my craving for cookies, I believe I have the “Christmas In July” fever!
Easy and Soft Butter Cookies
Dreaming of a tin cannister of Christmas cookies led me to make these Sprinked Butter Cookies which are delicious (and very pretty!). The ingredients list is short and simple, using butter as the main ingredient that keeps them soft. They’re also so easy to make! In fact, they’re now one of my favorite go to cookie recipes when I’m in a pinch and need to make a batch of cookies quickly!
The other key ingredient for these Sprinkled Butter Cookies is evaporated milk which is going to keep them fluffy and tasty. Roll around in your favorite colored sprinkles and you have a festive butter cookie – perfect for the holiday season or whenever you’re craving a cookie!
See, I would never lie to you about cookies. They are super soft inside!
Best Butter Cookies Recipe
Now let’s get baking these Sprinkled Butter Cookies!
You’ll want a crumbly cookie dough mixture, it should resemble something like this.
Pour sprinkles on a plate or a shallow bowl. I used rainbow sprinkles but you can use whatever color you want depending on the occasion.
Roll each cookie into a tablespoon sized ball. Now roll it in the sprinkles so the dough is coated.
Isn’t it pretty?
Add cookies to your baking sheet.
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 17-20 minutes.
And out of the oven comes some beautiful Sprinkled Butter Cookies!
Hope you enjoy this Sprinkled Butter Cookies recipe!

Making them again. These are the closest thing to a bakery sprinkle cookie that I have ever tasted. Buttery and extra fun, thanks to the rainbow sprinkles. Can’t go wrong with this easy and delicious recipe.

Hey DeeGee, I’m so happy to hear you liked these cookies! They are definitely a favorite of mine! 🙂 Thanks for commenting!
Alexis says
Amazing! This is my first time baking cookies. This recipe is fool proof! I 1/2’d all the measurements to make a dozen and used 10% half and half cream because I didn’t have evaporated milk. Thanks Pamela!
Erin says
How do you measure / scoop your flour ? I tend to weigh my ingredients for accuracy but would like to give this recipe a try. Thank you for the recipe!
Pamela says
Hey Erin, nothing fancy here, I just use a basic measuring cup to measure the flour. Hope you enjoy the cookies!
Danielle says
Hi there! This recipe looks great 🙂 Do you know how long these will keep in an airtight container? Should they be stored at room temperature or in the fridge? Thank you!
Pamela says
Hey Danielle, I recommending storing the cookies in a airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for a few days, but good luck not eating them before then!
