Why are the best recipes sometimes the simplest? Is it because it’s hard to screw them up? Because they’re less complicated, have less steps, and are therefore less complicated? Or maybe because they feel oddly nostalgic?
Something about these cookies just gives me all the feels. I, for one, LOVE sprinkles! They do in fact feel nostalgic, they’re playful, and I feel like they make any dessert taste better (even if they don’t have a super pronounced taste). My boyfriend, Chad, on the other hand… well, he really dislikes sprinkles. In his words, “they’re unnecessary”. Now while I absolutely disagree with him here, and think that sprinkles add a world of color (no pun intended) to any and everything, he did say that these cookies were great. And coming from a boy who hates sprinkles…. well I think that’s really something.
So whether you’re a sprinkle lover looking to get your fix, or you’re looking for a recipe that’ll convert a sprinkle-hater to a sprinkle lover, look no further than right here. 🙂
