This post and recipe was created for #HalloweenTreatsWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.

Halloween Confetti Cookies – soft and chewy sugar cookies rolled in Halloween sprinkles. The perfect sweet and spooky treat!

It’s #HalloweenTreatsWeek hosted by the wonderful Angie of Big Bear’s Wife!

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
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Egg
  • Vanilla
  • All-purpose flour
  • Cream of tartar 
  • Baking powder
  • Baking soda
  • Salt
  • Imperial Sugar

Directions for Halloween Confetti Cookies

  • Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy
  • Add egg and vanilla; beat until well combined
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
  • Add flour mixture to butter mixture and beat until combined
  • Roll tablespoonfuls of the dough into balls and roll the balls into Halloween sprinkles until covered; place 2 inches apart on a baking sheet
  • Bake at 350F for 8 – 10 minutes, just until the edges begin to brown
  • Cool completely before serving

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. 

I found this specific mix at Walmart in their Halloween section (not the Halloween baking section – the one with all the Halloween decor) but here’s a similar one with eyeballs at Target.

How Long Are Confetti Cookies Good For?

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

I put mine in this giant glass jar and my kids got a kick out of the cookies looking out at them as they sat at the kitchen table. I also use that container for homemade Chex mix and things like that – it always looks so cute. Highly recommend.

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 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.
