Holiday Cookies
Making holiday cookies doesn’t have to be fussy and time consuming. There is no intricate decorating going on here. Just soft chocolate chip cookies covered in festive sprinkles. These have white chocolate morsels but you can swap those for chocolate chips or holiday M&M’s.
The secret to making the base for these cookies absolutely perfect is Rodelle Pure Vanilla Extract and Rodelle Almond Extract. Rodelle Vanilla is the best there is, always making any recipe fantastic. The almond extract adds that slight background flavor that people can’t quite figure out.

Tips For Making Cookies
- The cookie dough does need to be chilled before scooping and baking to get thick soft cookies.
- Use a large cookie or ice cream scoop. I use a 2 ounce scoop for reference.
- Give the cookies space on the baking sheet. Don’t crowd them.
- Use regular chocolate chips, M&M’s or anything else you prefer in your cookies if white chocolate isn’t your favorite.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before moving to cooling rack.
- Check out the video on this post to see how to adhere the nonpareils to the cookies.
