Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

  4. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Slightly flatten each dough ball and add extra sprinkles on top for decoration.
Baking
  1. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers are still soft.
  2. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to three months.
