What makes these cookies so special? It a surprise raspberry filling inside a sweet buttery cookie that is covered in the prettiest colored pastel sprinkles.  So not only do you get a delicious homemade treat but also a colorful sprinkle-covered cookie that everyone loves.

Why we love these cookies:

  • A very unusual cookie with the surprise middle flavor
  • Very flavorful with the outside butter cookie and the raspberry center
  • A bit crunchy from the sprinkles – everyone loves this
  • Perfect for celebrations with colorful sprinkles.
  • Perfect for kids to help make, they like rolling the dough balls in the sprinkles

pastel nonpareil sprinkles

I know you are thinking ~ these pastel sprinkles are AWESOME! 

Ingredients

  • Butter – buttery flavor is what the outside of these cookies are all about, just make sure to use room temperature
  • Sugar – these cookies +have just the right amount of sweetness
  • Baking powder – your cookies need to rise, right, flat cookies are….well, just flat
  • Salt – not too much, but salt adds flavor
  • Eggs – you will be using 1 whole egg and 2 yolks.  The yolks add a rich flavor, and who doesn’t like flavor
  • Vanilla – flavor, flavor, flavor – use the best you can find
  • Flour – all-purpose is what I use
  • Raspberry flavoring – flavoring oils are easy to use and add great flavor
  • Pink food color – just a few drops make the raspberry centers a pretty color
  • Pastel nonpareil sprinkles – look for pastel colors

cookie ingredients

Let’s make cookies!

Step 1. In a large bowl mix the butter until fluffy then add the sugar baking powder and salt; mix until combined.

Step 2. Mix in the egg, egg yolks, and vanilla until combined, scraping sides of the bowl.

Step 3. Mix in the flour until combined, forming a soft dough.

Step 4. Remove 3/4 cup of the dough to a small bowl and add the LorAnn's raspberry flavoring oil and the pink food coloring; mix well to incorporate. Chill both doughs for a half hour.

Step 5. Measure out 1 tablespoon of butter dough and make 25 2″  dough balls with the dough and using a teaspoon measure out 25 of the raspberry flavored dough into 1″ balls. Adjust the size of the dough balls to get 25 from each dough, sometimes you have to pinch dough from some oversized balls to make enough.
Step 6. Flatten the butter-flavored dough into a flat disk and place a raspberry dough ball in the center and mold the dough around it to make a large round ball.

Step 7. As soon as you roll the two doughs together into one big ball.
 
Now, this is super important, once you roll the dough’s together into the bigger ball you need to immediately roll the dough in the pastel nonpareil sprinkles.  Why you ask, because the dough will be a bit sticky from rolling the balls with your warm hands and the sprinkles will stick to it, otherwise, your cookie will be bald.

Step 8. Bake for 10 – 11 minutes at 375 degrees. Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container for several days.
 
Mmm, a rich buttery cookie with a tender raspberry-flavored surprise center all covered in tiny pastel sprinkles.  Do you see why I love these cookies so much?
 
Easter treats

Can you freeze these cookies?

Yes, they freeze very well. Just bake and cool completely, then place in a plastic freezer bag or airtight container. Store in the freezer for about 2 to 3 months. Let thaw completely then enjoying.

 

Customize these cookies

This recipe is one I have made over and over again in so many different colors and flavors. Today’s recipe is perfect for Easter Cookies or Mother’s Day but with a quick change, you can make these cookies for just about any occasion, and trust me I have found sprinkles colors for all kinds of variations.  These are some of One Hot Oven’s favorites.

  • Use red, green, and white sprinkles for Christmas Surprise Inside Cookies. 
  • Red Velvet Surprise Inside Cookies have a delicious red velvet middle layer with red, pink, and white sprinkles.
  • 4th of July would not be the same without a special treat for a picnic and these Red, White, and Blue Sprinkle Cookies are perfect butter cookies with patriotic sprinkles for a celebration.
  • Believe it or not, we celebrate baseball opening day with our beloved team and make San Francisco Giants Cookies, using black and orange sprinkles with a chocolate middle layer.
  • The Cassidy family always celebrates St. Patrick’s Day with Mint Surprise Inside Cookies with green and white sprinkles. These are also leprechaun approved.
