Soft and chewy cookies filled with Christmas-themed sprinkles and flavored with peppermint extract. These cookies make the perfect Christmas cookie to bake this year. They taste similar to classic sugar cookies, except instead of using vanilla extract, peppermint extract is used. Bake these cookies for a fun Christmas treat, or to give out to family and friends. You can make these cookies for any holiday or occasion by swapping the Christmas sprinkles for any other holiday sprinkles.
The dough for these cookies is made just like making classic sugar cookie dough, except instead of vanilla extract, peppermint extract is used. And with the addition of Christmas-themed sprinkles. Roll the cookie dough into balls, and set them at least 2-inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake until they come out clean with a toothpick. Let cool on cooling racks before serving.
