2 Ingredient Sprinkle Sugar Cookies
We all need serious shortcuts sometimes, and these sprinkle cookies are one of my go-to’s. You only need two ingredients, and they are so easy you’ll have two dozen cookies baked in about 30 minutes! It’s a classic Pillsbury Sugar Cookie hack!
We’re leaning on one of my favorite shortcuts: refrigerated cookie dough! I always have a few packages tucked away in the refrigerator – they’ve saved me on many occasions!
I hesitate to call it a sprinkled sugar cookie recipe because it’s hardly a recipe at all – it’s more of a semi-homemade kitchen hack you can keep tucked up your sleeve. You know, for all those last-minute events that seem to creep up on us. With these sugar sprinkle cookies, you won’t be caught off guard again!
Ingredients Needed
- Ready-to-bake Pillsbury sugar cookie dough – for this recipe, I use a package with 24 pre-portioned cookies (not the dough that’s in a tube). You can use any brand you like!
- Sprinkles – nonpareils or jimmies work best!
How to Make Sprinkle Sugar Cookies
- Pour the sprinkles into a small bowl.
- Break the cookie dough into individual dough balls and roll each one in the sprinkles.
- Place the sugar cookies rolled in sprinkles two inches apart on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the cookies for 12 to 16 minutes at 350°F or until they are lightly golden around the edges and no longer glossy on top.
- Leave them on the cookie sheets for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Variations
- You can use your favorite cookie dough brand, but I recommend using one that you break apart into cookies. I like to make Pillsbury sprinkle cookies.
- Use any cookie dough flavor that you like! I used sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies, but chocolate or other flavors will work, too.
- There are tons of options with the sprinkles, so have fun picking them out!
I hope you pick up some sprinkles and sugar cookie dough the next time you’re at the store. You never know when you might need a quick treat! This sugar cookies with sprinkles recipe will definitely save the day.
