Add the flour mixture to the batter a third at a time, mixing thoroughly in between.
Step 6
Mix until just combined and there are no more flour streaks.
Step 7
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Step 8
Add a small amount of the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. The dough should be thick, but pipeable. I double bagged my piping bag to try and avoid a blowout.
Step 9
If it’s too thick, add it back to the dough and add a Tablespoon of milk and mix again. Try to pipe it again.
Step 10
Once the dough is pipeable, pipe 1 ½ to 2-inch swirls on a parchment lined baking pan approximately 2 inches apart.
Step 11
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are JUST starting to turn golden brown.

Optional: Once cool, add chocolate melting wafers to a microwave safe bowl and microwave 15 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Step 14
Dip the cookies into the chocolate and allow the extra to drip off.
Step 15
Add a little pinch of sprinkles to the chocolate and set them on a wire rack to dry. Use a knife to gently release the dried cookies from the rack.
