These Halloween cookies are made with a simple sugar cookie dough rolled in orange and black sprinkles. They bake at 350°F for just 10 minutes and stay fresh for a few days in an airtight container.

Ingredients

1 cup butter (room temperature)

1 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

3 tsp vanilla

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup orange and black sprinkles

Directions

Set your oven to 350°F and let it preheat.

Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together for about two minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Remember to scrape the bowl's sides.

Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until everything is well combined.

Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, then mix until fully incorporated. The dough will be sticky.

Pour the orange and black sprinkles into a bowl. Take the dough from the mixing bowl and drop it into the sprinkles, rolling it around until fully coated. Form the dough into a ball and place it on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Because the cookies spread a lot during baking, place only about eight cookies on each sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes at 350°F. Let the cookies cool completely on the pan. They will stay fresh in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days.
