These soft, chewy, and easy dipped Chocolate Chip Sprinkle Cookies are a fun and festive twist on the traditional chocolate chip cookie! In this version, the cookies are partially dipped in melted chocolate and then decorated with colorful sprinkles for an additional kick of sweetness and fun pop of color!
I'm in love with chocolate chip cookies. Classics are classics for a reason... they are just the BOMB DOT COM! Some of my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipes are these Bakery Chocolate Chip Cookies (my all-time favorites) and these Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies for bite-sized cutie little chocolate chip cookies!
Why You'll LOVE This Recipe
Easy: These cookies are made in one bowl with a whisk, do not require any chill time, and are ready to eat in about 30 minutes!
Customizable: These are PERFECT for any occasion! You can use colors for holidays, sports teams, schools, baby showers... literally anything!
Texture: The addition of sprinkles not only enhances the appearance but also adds a delightful texture to the cookies. The sprinkles provide a slight crunch and create the best contrast to the soft and chewy texture of the chocolate chip cookies.
Ingredients
- Unsalted Butter: You'll melt your butter for flavor and moisture in every bite! Using melted butter also makes this a no-mixer recipe!
- Light Brown Sugar & Granulated Sugar: Both sugars work together to create flavor, moisture, and structure.
- Egg: An egg at room temperature adds structure and chewiness.
- Vanilla Extract: Vanilla extract rounds out the flavor of these cookies.
- All Purpose Flour: All purpose flour, measured properly, creates soft and chewy cookies.
- Baking Powder & Baking Soda: Together, both of these leavening agents give these cookies their rise and create gorgeous, thick domes!
- Salt: Salt enhances the flavor and brings out sweetness.
- Chocolate Chips: I use a combination of mini chocolate chips, regular chocolate chips, and large chocolate chips inside of the cookies.
Step by Step Process
STEP 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure the cookies come off of the pans cleanly after baking.
STEP 2: In a large bowl, use a whisk to mix melted unsalted butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, room temperature egg, room temperature egg yolk, and vanilla extract together.
STEP 3: Add all purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to the dough. Use a rubber spatula to fold the ingredients into the dough until smooth
STEP 4: Then, pour the chocolate chips into the cookie dough. Use a rubber spatula to fold the chocolate chips in until evenly dispersed.
STEP 5: Roll each dough ball into 2- 2 ½ tablespoon dough balls (55-60g of batter). Top each dough ball with additional chocolate chips as desired for a bakery-style look.
STEP 6: Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden in color, the tops are light pale, and the center is just slightly soft. Allow the cookies to fully cool before decorating.
Dipping Chocolate Chip Cookies
STEP 1: Melt chocolate chips down in 1-minute intervals in the microwave, stirring thoroughly between each round.
STEP 2: Dip one cookie into the melted chocolate chips. Immediately after dipping the cookie, dip the cookie into a bowl of sprinkles. Repeat the process with the remaining cookies.
STEP 3: Place the cookies on a piece of parchment to fully set before serving or storing.
Frequently Asked Questions
You can use various types of sprinkles for your chocolate chip cookies! Rainbow sprinkles are a classic choice, but you can also use chocolate sprinkles, colored sugar, nonpareils, or any other decorative sprinkles you prefer.
To ensure that the sprinkles stick to the cookies, immediately sprinkle them with the desired sprinkles right after dipping them in chocolate. The chocolate acts as a glue, so don't wait for it to set before adding the sprinkles!
You do not! In the cookies, I use a mix of different flavors and sizes. For dipping, you can use whatever flavor you'd like... dark, milk, semisweet, white, or whatever your heart desires!

To make these cookies ahead of time, freeze the dough by shaping it into balls and placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze the balls for 15 minutes before transferring them to a resealable freezer bag for up to 3 months.
