Can I leave out the cornstarch?
I don’t recommend it. Cornstarch adds chewiness! Instead of cornstarch, use an equal amount of all-purpose flour. Check your cookies at the 8-minute mark to see if they’re ready to come out of the oven. If not, let them bake for an extra three minutes or so. Choose any holiday sprinkles you prefer, regardless of the color! It’s all about making these cookies the way that you like them.
Should I cover the bottom of the cookies with sprinkles?
Yes. You should roll the entire cookie dough ball in sprinkles to ensure even coverage.
Can I use sprinkles instead of nonpareils?
Yes. Use the same amount of holiday jimmies in place of nonpareils. Enjoy these Christmas Sprinkle Cookies with loved ones. You might even want to have the kids leave a few of these cookies out for Santa to enjoy! If you make this recipe be sure to leave us a comment or rating. Enjoy!
