Sabrina Carpenter’s Holiday Cookies are a holiday treat

Sabrina Carpenter is spreading holiday cheer in the sweetest way – with her delicious holiday cookie recipe!

Known for her musical and acting talents, Sabrina is now wowing fans in the kitchen as she shares her take on classic chocolate chip and M&M cookies. Perfectly combining rich, gooey chocolate chips with colorful holiday M&M’s, these cookies are a simple yet festive treat that’s sure to bring joy to any holiday gathering.

Whether you’re baking for a party or a cozy night in, Sabrina Carpenter’s cookies are the perfect way to add a little magic to the season.

Her recipe, shared on TikTok, is a twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie or M&M cookie, and while it sticks to the basics, the result is anything but ordinary.

The process begins with melted butter and brown sugar, although many bakers may prefer a mixture of white and brown sugar for added depth. Using a hand mixer, she mixes the two together until smooth, then adds eggs for a creamy base.

In a separate bowl, Sabrina mixed the dry ingredients, sifting in the flour and baking soda like a pro. She gradually stirs the dry ingredients into the wet mixture before adding the stars of the show: semisweet chocolate chips and festive red and green holiday M&M’s. Sabrina doesn’t measure the amount of candy, she estimates the amount, so feel free to add as much as your sweet tooth desires. For fun, you can add mini M&M’s or even mix in some green food coloring for a fun Grinch-inspired cookie.

So “Please, Please, Please” make these cookies this holiday season because they will leave a “big impression”.

• 1 cup butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1-1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate
• 3/4-1 cup red and green M&M’s

In a large bowl, beat together the butter and both sugars with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and M&Ms, then refrigerate the batter for 30 minutes.

After the dough has cooled, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls. Place balls of dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until edges are golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

A Silly Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter made a dazzling debut on Friday, December 6, racking up an impressive 2.6 million views in its first weekend. In the holiday program, the “Espresso” singer performed with such famous guests as Shania Twain, Chappelle Rohan and Tyla.

“There are comedy, musical, and festive ones. But who makes holiday musical comedy specials? A lot of people,” Carpenter quipped. “But do these special events have celebrity guests? Yes, they do! Everyone who has musical comedy specials does them with celebrity guests, and this is one of them.’

Showcasing songs from her 2023 EP Fruitcake, the 49-minute special included celebrity cameos, sketch comedy and Carpenter’s mix of Christmas classics and holiday tracks, complete with her signature remixes, witty lyrics.

Executive producer Simone Spiro talked about making the special Fader“We knew we wanted to create a festive holiday vintage. We watched a lot of old school variety shows. You have (The Dean Martin Christmas Show) and when Frank Sinatra joined Dean Martin one year. Of course there’s Cher (a holiday episode of Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour).”

She added: “In our minds, we assumed this would be the essence of Sabrina for the holiday variety show. And it turned out that this was also her exact vision.”

Spiro later revealed that they “filmed (it) in two days right before Sabrina went to the VMAs and (started her) ‘Short ‘n Sweet’ tour.”

“So we really didn’t have the luxury of time. “What we shot is what’s in the special,” she said when executive producer Michael D. Ratner chimed in, “I think part of the magic of the special is how timely it is, that she’s having this moment, and it’s coming out around Christmas.”
