Soft Drop Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies at Christmastime are a must.  However, waiting for the dough to chill, then rolling it out, cutting it out, baking and finally frosting them can take soooo long!  You just want to eat sugar cookies now right?  These soft drop sugar cookies are fast and tasty.  I found this recipe nearly 20 years ago and it has remained a favorite!  The dough doesn't need to chill and you will be enjoying your sugar cookies within a very reasonable time frame.  Kids will also enjoy making these festive fun cookies!

Soft Drop Sugar Cookies being rolls through colored sugar sprinkles.

Mix up the sugar cookie dough as directed in the recipe.  Scoop the dough out by tablespoonfuls and roll them in colored sugar.  This can be so much fun.  You can do any color or color combination you want!  So fun!

Soft drop sugar cookies rolled in sprinkles and placed on a baking sheet.

Place the color sprinkle coated dough balls on prepared baking sheets and bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.  Cool and eat!
