Instructions
This is a basic cookie recipe and mixing it together is a breeze. Scoop out the dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet and press extra jimmies/sprinkles right on top of each cookie. Pop in fridge for an hour. Then place cold sheet right into the preheated oven. You will pull these out when the center is still slightly soft. But it will firm up on the hot pan for a few minutes. This will yield a chewy cookie!
Equipment
