Valentine’s Day Sprinkle Cookies

Y’all know me, I am a sucker for a festive cookie! So today I thought I would share my Valentine’s Day Sprinkle Cookies recipe with you all.

You may remember my Christmas sprinkle cookie recipe a few months ago, and really these cookies are no different. They just have Valentine’s Day sprinkles in them instead of Christmas sprinkles!

Not only is this recipe incredibly easy, but delicious as well. I originally wanted to ice and decorate Valentine’s Day sugar cookies, but honestly just the thought of icing all the cookies was too much for me.

I wanted something quick and easy, and this was the perfect recipe for that. With these cookies, I got my sweet treat without it being too much work!

And I love how festive the Valentine’s Day sprinkles make these cookies. They would be perfect for a little party too! Keep on reading for the full recipe card below!

Ingredients Needed For Valentine’s Day Sprinkle Cookies:

• ¾ cup salted butter room temperature
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract (I use my homemade vanilla extract for this)
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup Valentine’s Day Sprinkles

How To Make Sprinkle Cookies:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. About 2-3 minutes. 

Then, add in the egg and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Slowly add the flour mixture into the wet mixture, using the low speed. Mix until everything is incorporated and then add in the sprinkles. 

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop 1.5 tablespoons of dough out into balls. Y’all know, I love to use my Caraway Home baking sheets when making cookies! They make for an easy cleanup, and my cookies always turn out delicious too.

Place the cookie dough balls about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cookies will still look undercooked when coming out of the oven, but trust me, they are done! 

Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature.

Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. You can freeze already cooked cookies, or the dough. 

I prefer to just freeze the dough and then bake them when I want them. I let them sit out for a few minutes to come to room temperature before baking them though. 

Enjoy These Cookies!

Well, I hope you enjoyed these Valentine’s Day cookies just as much as I did. As you can see, they are super easy to make and you can easily whip them up ahead of time for a party of get together.

If you make these too, let me know how they turned out for you as well. I’m sure you will find them quite tasty and perfectly festive for Valentine’s Day!
