Lately I’ve really enjoyed making slice and bake cookies like these butter cookies.  Being able to freeze dough in a log and slightly thaw and cut when I feel like some cookies has been handy. While it doesn’t give me that instant satisfaction of eating them right away, sometimes I just don’t have the time to dedicate to mixing the dough and baking at the same time. This is a great alternative! It is also a great way to mix extra dough or simply bake only what you want at a time. These rainbow sparkling sugar butter cookies are a great example and can be made year round with different colored sugars for different holidays. Whenever you serve them, they will certainly sparkle.

Add some sparkle to the holidays, a celebration or any day with these rainbow sparkling butter cookies. This slice and bake sugar cookie recipe is a great option for freezing the dough and baking when convenient. Change out the sparkling sugar colors for any holiday!

For this particular look, be sure to use a coarse sugar. I used this rainbow sparkling sugar from Wilton.

These rainbow sparkling sugar cookies have a light and buttery taste. They taste great served with coffee or tea and store well. If you like slice and bake cookies, try these lemon poppyseed cookies. But beware, they are a little addictive!

    I kind of like that you only put sprinkles on the one edge.

    These looks so pretty and delicious- I wish I had found these a few months ago when I threw a sprinkle themed baby shower (really a baby sprinkle!) they would have been perfect!

    I stopped by from Motivation Monday!
