This Week’s Recipe: Rainbow Sprinkle Sugar Cookies

Some girls dream of diamonds, others wish for furs. Me? I asked for six pounds of rainbow sprinkles (that we found in a huge milk carton style container on a shelf at a restaurant supply store). And you know what? It was a blast trying to put a dent in them with this twist on a sugar cookie.

Okay, so if you compare the image on the website to my above picture, you’ll spot a key difference. The thing is, when making these cookies, I was really, really tired and I missed one key word printed after 3/4c of sprinkles.

Divided.

So, instead of adding 1/4c of sprinkles to the batter then rolling the dough balls in the remaining flecks of color, I added the whole shebang to my dough. They turned out just fine but perhaps a touch muted by comparison.

Nobody’s perfect.

The upside? By adding all the sprinkles to the batter, the cookies took less time to make.

Agatha Christie: While I can’t see Poirot or Ms. Lemon partaking in these, I think Tommy & Tuppence would. And if someone used holiday themed sprinkles, Miss Marple might also partake!
