SPRINKLE COOKIES RECIPE

In my experience, these were some of the cookies that were associated with my vacation memories. I mostly make them with red and green sprinkles. But you can really use any color sprinkles you have or sprinkles that go with the theme of your party.

With rainbow sprinkles, they are perfect for rainbow and unicorn themes. You can use them for game day by using your preferred team colors. The possibilities are pretty much endless.

HOW DO YOU KEEP SPRINKLES ON COOKIES?

If you're trying to add sprinkles to baked cookies, you can use frosting or egg rinse. If adding sprinkles after baking, let the cookies cool completely before freezing, or add sprinkles. You don't want everything to just melt away.

If you add sprinkles to your cookies before baking, just sprinkle them on top before you put them in the oven. You will see that we do that in this Sprinkle Cookies recipe.

What happens when you bake sprinkles?

Based on my experience, I have some tips for baking cookies with sprinkles.

If you plan to use the round sprinkles (nonpareils), don't put them in your batter or cookie dough. Your colors bleed and give you streaks of color. So if you want to use them, I recommend using them after you've baked your cookies.

I also avoid adding pearl sprinkles to the batter. The color can run and they can also be a hazard.

Jimmies are the sprinkles I like most when I bake. If you use those with bold colors that are a little shiny, you can use them in your batter or batter. This is how you get the funfetti look when baking.

If you just want the sprinkles to sit on top of your cookies, cakes, or cupcakes, sprinkle them on top of the batter or batter before putting them in the oven for baking.

ARE SPRINKLES MELTING IN THE FURNACE?

Yes, most streuseles melt a little in the oven. However, when the cookies cool, the sprinkles (if you are using Jimmies) will harden again and will be part of the cookie.

If you put your streusel on top of the cookies or cupcakes right before baking, the streusel will stick to the top after cooling.
