Firecracker Cookies

I just thought these were totally festive and fun looking.  You could do any color of sprinkles to change them up, but these are perfect to help celebrate the 4th.

I think the trick to making these so colorful is the amount of sprinkles that are in them.  I kind of thought “what the heck, a whole cup?”  But after I added about half a cup I realized why there was so much.  Half a cup wasn’t nearly as colorful!  So don’t scrimp!

Even the dough looks delicious!
