Easy Sugar Sprinkle Cookies
These cookies are a favorite for me since I am such a lazy person. Can I say that out loud?
I enjoy skipping over directions to chill the dough. Or roll it out. Or anything that just requires more time or work. Don’t you? These come together pretty much as simply as peanut butter cookies. Rolling dough into balls and flattening.
I also enjoy the versatility that switching out the colors makes. You can see how the cookies look in spring colors below the recipe. So keep scrolling if you are interested in that.

And don’t forget to keep this in mind at other times of the year. Different colors of sprinkles add versatility.
Also perfect for birthdays and Easter as well.
Or changing out to red white and blue would be great for Fourth of July celebrations.
As well as Autumn colors or orange & black for Halloween.
What’s better than an easy recipe cookie? One with sprinkles!!!
