One of my favorite treats to make for every holiday is a confetti cookie. They’re basically just soft sugar cookies (my favorite!) rolled in whatever holiday sprinkles.

So these Halloween Confetti Cookies are rolled in a Halloween sprinkle mix that had candy eyeballs throughout and they just turned out so cute!

Ingredients for Halloween Confetti Cookies

Unsalted butter – make sure to bring it to room temperature before beginning.
Granulated sugar
Egg
Vanilla
All-purpose flour
Cream of tartar – this is what is going to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
Baking powder
Baking soda
Halloween sprinkles – I found this specific mix of sprinkles in the Halloween section at Walmart but here’s a similar one.

Directions for Halloween Confetti Cookies

Wet ingredients. Beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla until well combined.
Dry ingredients. Whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine. Add flour mixture to butter mixture and beat until just combined.
Add sprinkles. Working with 1 rounded tablespoon of dough, roll into a ball and then roll in sprinkles until covered.
Transfer. Place on prepared pans.
Bake. Bake at 350F for 8 – 10 minutes until they are just beginning to brown on the edges.
Cool. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

What Kind of Sprinkles for Confetti Cookies

You can really use whatever sprinkles you like for these cookies. I look for Halloween sprinkle mixes that are mostly brightly colored jimmies and then some spooky sprinkles like the eyeballs in this one.

How Long Are Confetti Cookies Good For?

These sprinkle cookies are good for up to 5 days if stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

Can You Freeze Confetti Cookies?

Confetti cookies can be frozen either as dough or already baked.

Freeze the baked cookies by putting them in a plastic ziploc bag and squeezing out as much air as possible. They’ll be good in the freezer for up to 3 months. To defrost, just let them sit at room temperature until defrosted.

To freeze the dough, go all the way through the instructions, stopping before baking. Freeze the dough balls on a baking sheet for about an hour and then transferring the dough balls to a freezer ziploc bag. The dough will be fine in the freezer for up to 3 months.

To bake the frozen balls, follow the recipe instructions but add a couple minutes to the total bake time. Just keep an eye on them.
