From Quick Guide: Christmas Cookies
Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Purchase sprinkles from any local grocery store. When buying your sprinkles, look for a type like Parlor Perfect Confetti Sprinkles. These sprinkles come with an easy to use swivel top.

  2. Step 2

    Control the amount of sprinkles you sprinkle with the swivel top. Use the small holed section when you only want to use a small amount of sprinkles, the medium holed part for quicker sprinkling and the pour spout for larger quantities.

  3. Step 3

    Decorate your baked goods with sprinkles. You can use sprinkles in many different ways when baking. Pour the sprinkles into cake batter for a confetti themed cake. Add sprinkles to the top of cupcakes and cakes with frosting. Draw a design with the sprinkles or scatter them for a festive fun look.

  4. Step 4

    Sprinkle sprinkles on kid-friendly foods. Some kids are picky eaters and refuse to eat certain foods. Sprinkle a small amount of sprinkles on foods, like applesauce and oatmeal, to get them to eat better.

Tips & Warnings
  • Chocolate flavored sprinkles have more flavor than rainbow sprinkles and you should use them more conservatively. Many people like to use chocolate sprinkles on ice cream and vanilla flavored baked items.
  • For cookies, you should add the sprinkles before baking in order to get the sprinkles to stick to each cookie.
