#ikea #ikeatrip #ikeakidsEasy Sprinkle Cookie Recipe / Baking with KidsEveryday Jewish Mom2018-06-29 | I love sprinkle cookies and I found a shortcut!! Sprinkle cookies were always one of my favorite cookies to get when I’d go to the Kosher bakery as a kid. I’ve made plenty of sprinkle cookies, but they have so many steps. This technique means, no softening butter, no mixer, no rolling balls of dough, and no baking in batches.
Sprinkle Cookie Sticks (Inspired by Bakesandsteak on Instagram) ½ cup oil 1 egg 2 tsp vanilla (or 1 tsp vanilla & ½ tsp almond extract*) ½ tsp salt ½ tsp baking soda 1 cup sugar 1 ½ cups flour Sprinkles
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover a sheet pan or cookie sheet with parchment paper. 2. In a large bowl, combine oil, egg, vanilla, and salt. 3. Stir in baking soda, sugar, and flour 4. Split the dough in half and place on the sheet pan. Form the dough into 2 long thin logs, the full length of the pan. 5. Coat top and sides with sprinkles. Don’t hold back, the cookies will expand and so will the spaces between the sprinkles. 6. Bake about 16 minutes 7. Slice into sticks and let cool completely • Due to food allergies, I avoid using almond extract when making cookies for a large group.
