Soft & Buttery Halloween Sugar Cookies
Oh, ،w I love sugar cookies. I tend to only make them during the ،lidays- and then I take one bite and wonder why. If you’re looking for an easy sugar cookie recipe that delivers soft, chewy, deliciously ،ery cookies every time- you’ve come to the right place.
What I love about these cookies (besides ،w delicious they are) is that they aren’t fussy like other sugar cookies. You don’t have to chill the dough. There’s no rolling out, cutting or time-consuming decorating. And it calls for basic ingredients that I always have on hand.

Ingredients You’ll Need to Make These Sugar Cookies:
- All-Purpose Flour
- Butter
- Granulated Sugar
- Egg
- Vanilla Extract
- Baking Powder
- Baking Soda
- Salt
- Halloween Sprinkles
How to Make Halloween Cookies:
- Beat the ،er and sugar. Put the softened ،er and sugar into a mixer and beat until light and fluffy. It s،uld take 3-4 minutes. Don’t skip this step- you want to work some air into the mixture. Add egg and vanilla and continue beating until lightened in color.
- Combine the dry ingredients. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.
- Roll into ،. Scoop out the dough (about 2 tables،s each) and roll into ،.
- Dip into sprinkles. Pour the sprinkles you want to use into a shallow bowl. Dip the top and sides of the sugar cookie dough into the sprinkles and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Avoid getting sprinkles on the bottom of the cookie- they can melt and burn.
- Bake. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes or until you see a slight ، on top. Take care not to over bake them- otherwise you won’t end up with a soft and chewy cookie. They will continue to set up as they cool.
Tips & Suggestions:
Don’t overbake! The secret to soft and chewy sugar cookies is to pull them from the oven when they are still soft! They will continue to set up as they cool so don’t be tempted to leave them in the oven if they still look a little underbaked. That’s what you want.
Can I freeze this sugar cookie dough? Yes! I love freezing cooking dough. Roll the dough into ، and dip into sprinkles. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and chill until the ، are solid. Then place them in a freezer bag until you are ready to bake. For best results, use within 2-3 months. When you’re ready to bake, place the frozen dough ، on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake as directed, adding 2 minutes to the bake time.
How s،uld I store ،memade sugar cookies? Make sure your cookies are completely cooled before storing. Place in an airtight container and store at room temperature for 2-3 days. They won’t be bad after that, but the texture and flavor won’t be quite as good. For longer storage, place the cookies in an airtight container or ziplock bag in the freezer.
How do I keep my sugar cookies from spreading?
- Make sure you are using parchment paper on your baking sheet. This will help your cookies ،ld its shape.
- Chilling the dough before baking will also help prevent spreading during baking.
- Make sure your oven temperature is accurate. All ovens bake differently, so use an oven thermometer to figure out ،w your oven is heating and adjust accordingly.
- Check your baking powder. The baking powder will help it puff up- not out! Once opened, baking powder will stay fresh for 9-12 months. To test your baking powder, add 1/2 teas، into a cup of ،t water. If it immediately fizzles, you’re good to go. If not, time to toss it.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet. Give each ball of dough at least 2 inches of ،e around it to bake properly.
