If you follow me on Instagram, I recently shared the large quantity of sprinkles I possess and how I managed to organize them. There is a bit of a sprinkle addiction going on here. At least I can say that I didn't buy them all though. Many of them came from blogging events. But I still have at least 40 different varieties of sprinkles currently hanging out in my pantry. Why am I talking about sprinkles? Because these Easy Christmas Sprinkle Cookies are COATED in sprinkles!

WHAT ARE EASY CHRISTMAS SPRINKLE COOKIES?

Some people know these cookies as gooey butter cookies, but I've always known them to be easy sprinkle cookies.

Regardless of what you call them, these cookies are incredibly easy to make, as they only have 6 ingredients! Boxed vanilla cake mix, unsalted butter, cream cheese, egg, vanilla, and of course, sprinkles! That's it!

WHAT KIND OF SPRINKLES CAN I USE?

Honestly, just about any kind is fine. I think smaller sprinkles work better as they stick to the dough and can coat it entirely, but feel free to use jimmy-sized sprinkles, round sprinkles, big sprinkles, confetti sprinkles...just about anything you want.

EASY CHRISTMAS SPRINKLE COOKIE INGREDIENTS

18.25 oz box vanilla cake mix
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sprinkles

EASY CHRISTMAS SPRINKLE COOKIE DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Beat butter and cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer until fully combined.
Add egg and vanilla and mix until incorporated.
Mix in the cake mix.
Roll out dough into 1-inch balls and cover in sprinkles.
Bake 10-12 minutes, then let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to continue cooling.

As with most of my baked goods, I took these into work where they vanished in less than an hour. If you're looking for a easy to make cookie recipe that's festive for Christmas, these Easy Christmas Sprinkle Cookies are the perfect choice.

Prize 2 - Adams Extract Prize Pack

Adams traces its beginnings back to Battle Creek, Michigan, when John A. Adams began making and selling his Green Plant Sarsaparilla extract, Adamur, in 1888. In 1905, he moved his family to Beeville, TX. At the time, most vanilla sold to pharmacies and was often labeled “Do not bake or freeze.” John A. Adams' wife yearned for a flavoring that wouldn’t bake or freeze out. He announced that he could produce a better vanilla than the one his wife was currently using. Working with just $6.71 worth of materials on top of an old icebox, John A. Adams discovered the formula he wanted. To test this product, his wife whipped up a cake for the family to try. “John, this is the BEST flavoring I have ever used,” she announced. “Well, that’s old man Adams BEST,” he responded.
