Our boys LOVE sprinkles. They will eat anything if there are sprinkles on top. I may try putting sprinkles on vegetables, ha! I love sprinkles too. Who doesn’t? They are bright, fun, and happy!
Whenever I ask the boys what cookies I should bake, 9 out of 10 times they yell, “Sprinkle Chocolate Chip Cookies.” They LOVE these sprinkle cookies! I don’t blame them, they are SO fun and SO delicious! Chocolate chip cookies with colorful sprinkles? Count me in!
Sprinkles
For this recipe, I like to use rainbow sprinkles, but you can use your favorite sprinkles. Feel free to mix it up! Have fun with it!
You can use holiday colors, sports team colors, bridal shower or baby shower colors, wedding colors, etc. The options are endless.
How to Make
Basically, I mix up a bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough and stir in lots of colorful sprinkles. It’s that easy! I also roll the cookies in sprinkles before putting them in the oven to make sure there are LOTS of sprinkles. Warning, you might find sprinkles on your kitchen floor for a few days, but I promise it’s worth it:)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the dry ingredients and set aside.
- Using a stand mixer, cream butter and sugars together for about 3 minutes. Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. With the mixer on low, slowly add in the dry ingredients. Stir in the chocolate chips. Gently fold in 3/4 cup of the sprinkles. Stir carefully so you don’t smash up the sprinkles.
- Form the cookie dough into balls, about 2 tablespoons of dough. Roll the cookies in the remaining sprinkles, covering the entire cookie dough ball. This is the fun part! You can even let the kids help, if you don’t mind a little mess:)
- Place cookies on prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt, a must if you ask me:)
- Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and cool completely.
How to Store
The sprinkle chocolate chip cookies will keep in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the cookies for up to one month.
If you want to freeze the cookie dough, roll the cookies into balls and place them on a baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes or until the cookies are solid. Transfer the cookie dough balls to a freezer bag or container and freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to bake, remove from the freezer, place on a baking sheet, and bake! You don’t have to defrost the cookie dough, just add a few additional minutes to the baking time.
Perfect for Any Celebration
The chocolate chip cookies are PERFECTION! The addition of sprinkles made the cookies extra special. They are SO fun! These cookies are perfect for birthdays, parties, or any celebration. You can even use the cookies to make ice cream sandwiches, such a fun summer treat!
Make a batch of Sprinkle Chocolate Chip Cookies. You can’t eat one of these cookies without smiling. They are our happy cookies. They are fun to make and fun to eat! We hope you enjoy them too!

They look so festive and fun! I’ve gotta admit I love sprinkles too – my grandma sometimes took us for ice cream and I’d always get the sprinkles on top. Smart idea on adding something to celebrate to moving, I think it’s always hard to leave a house behind.
Have a great week!
Sprinkles on vegetables actually doesn’t sound like a bad idea…I might like them more that way, too!
These cookies look so SO fun!
I love a colorful cookie on a Monday!
These cookies are so fun!
I’m not a huge sprinkle person, so I would most likely put the sprinkles inside the cookies…just the first 3/4 but yeah, I would totally make this.
hey girl these look so yummy! Y’all have fun!
Love all these macro shots of sprinkles!
Love these festive cookies! I think I need at least a dozen asap!
sprinkles make everything better, don’t they?! this looks so crispy, crunchy, and goooood.
These are so stinking cute!! Not to mention how delicious they look, too. So perfect for summer parties or birthdays!
These are just SO cute!!!! they make me feel happy!
Is it possible to see a sprinkle bedazzled treat and not smile? Caleb is a very smart boy! 🙂 I think I’ll make these the next time my nephews come to visit. So fun!
Well these are super fun! What a great idea 🙂
Happy birthday to your beautiful boy!
I made these yesterday. They are really good! I will be honest, I was a little nervous about the amount of flour but the end product was perfect. Our friends asked if they were store bought! And the sprinkles were a hit with my kids!
Thanks for a great recipe! Adding to my book.
Best,

So glad you liked the cookies!
Used this recipe to make the sprinkle chocolate chip cookie cups in another TwoPeas recipe. Turned out great!
So happy you liked them!
This may be one of my favorite recipes from your kitchen! If you are making a cookbook, please please include this one! This and the Loaded Baked Gnocchi! Delicious!
Thanks so much! We hope to have a cookbook someday:)
Hey please tell me the replacement of egg as I’m a vegetarian and we don’t eat eggs and in a lot of your cookie recipes there is egg. Want to try it but don’t know what to replace the egg with
You can use flax and water to make an egg.
I’ve never baked with sea salt. Should I use fine or coarse? I usually use kosher salt.
these came out wonderfully! not only colorful, but the ratio of chocolate ensured every nibble was delicious. i used a mix of bittersweet (1.5 c) and 60% cocoa (1c) and all the kids and adults were smiling even before we started singing happy birthday to my three year old! without a doubt, these were a total hit!
Super sweet cookies, easy to make and very fun looking!
The best cookies ever!! my son loved as well my grandpa haha I baked them one month ago and forgot to pin it! I was looking for this recipe 1 entire week!! I’ll bake them again! this time for my son’s classmates !! 🙂 Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe ! <3
So happy you loved the cookies!
Maria,
Love, love, love getting your emails with all those yummy recipes. Now I’m excited to try making some of these lovely cookies. Hopefully I don’t eat to many.
WIshing you and your family the best Holiday Season. Stay well and thank you for sharing your awesome recipes
We made these yesterday and they are so yummy and festive. For us, a teaspoon of salt was too much to begin with so we omitted the extra salt at the end. Next time, we’ll probably do just 1/2 tsp of salt.
Thanks as always for the delicious recipes!
I made the recipe and refrigerated the dough last night then baked cookies this morning. I only used 1/4 cup of the white sugar since one of the comments said cookies were very sweet. Turned out very good and will make them again. Almost my signature cookie since my last name is Sprinkle! Thank you, love your recipes.

We love this recipe!!
