I just thought these little cookies were adorable. Sprinkles and miniature food together? Yep, a perfect marriage of fun. The cookies is a buttery shortbread tasting cookie – my favorite. And the sprinkles? My daughter and her friend loved!
I didn’t have any nonpareils except for the Christmas ones so we used sprinkles. I had some cool shiny ones that my daughter wanted to use.
Next time I’ll use the nonpareils. I think they look better than sprinkles. But, for now, the girls thought these were pretty fun (and delicious.)
Thank you to Pink Piccadilly Pastries for this fun recipe.
