Birthday cookies

These delicious chocolate chip cookies make the perfect birthday treat! They aren’t just ordinary cookies…they are “special birthday cookies” as my kids would say. Filled with chocolate chips and colored sprinkles, these birthday cookies are so fun and festive. And they taste incredible, too! They’re soft in the middle with the perfect crisp on the outside. I could easily eat half a dozen…and I just might! ;)

Ways to customize birthday cookie recipe

Chocolate Chips: I used white and milk chocolate chips, but feel free to customize based on preference. Peanut butter or butterscotch chips would taste delicious too.

Sprinkles: Sprinkles add such a fun and festive feel to these birthday cookies! I used rainbow colored sprinkles, but you could add in your favorite color or even seasonal colored sprinkles too.

Candy: Instead of chocolate chips, sometimes I like to add in M&M’s or Milky Way pieces.

Cookie Cake: Try turning this birthday cookie recipe into a birthday cookie cake! Just fill a pie plate or cake plan with the birthday cookie mixture and bake. Feel free to top with frosting and candles!

Tips for baking perfect birthday cookies

• Use a cookie scoop to ensure the birthday cookies are all around the same size.
• I like to take my birthday cookies out of the oven when they are a little underdone. I’ll let them sit on the hot cookie pan for a couple of minutes (they continue to cook through), then I’ll transfer to a baking rack to cool.
• Store in air tight container for up to 3 days.
• You can freeze these birthday cookies too. Once cooled, transfer to a zip-lock bag and store in freezer. To eat, thaw at room temperature and warm in oven for a few minutes.
