Favorite Sprinkle Cookies (to Share with the Kids)

Step 1

Line a half sheet pan or cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2

Place all ingredients, except the sprinkles, into a bowl starting with 4 tablespoons milk. Use a clean hand to mix together to form a dough. Press the butter through your fingers to break it up and incorporate it into the flour. (Or, you can put the ingredients into a food processor and pulse to combine.) You shouldn't see any large pieces of butter.

Step 3

(If the dough is a little crumbly, be sure it's throughly combined and if it's still crumbly at all, add ½-1 tablespoon additional milk until it comes together. The dough should be moist, but still easy to roll into balls.)

Step 4

Add the sprinkles to a separate small bowl.

Step 5

Portion out 1 tablespoon balls of dough using a measuring spoon. Roll into a smooth ball in your hand. Roll in sprinkles to coat all sides.

Step 6

Place onto the prepared baking sheet. Press down lightly to make the cookie about about ½-inch thick. Repeat to make the rest of the cookies.

Step 7

Place the pan into the fridge to chill while you preheat the oven to 375°F.

Step 8

Bake for 12-16 minutes, or until lightly browned on the bottom of each cookies and set around the edges.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the pan.
