Sundae Cookies

I love sprinkles. Although I don’t use them often, I have an obsession on buying sprinkles and cupcake liners, especially after the holidays when they are on sale. I wanted to use my rainbow nonpareils, but instead of making cupcakes, I made Sundae Cookies. I’m not a good decorator, but I thought I did a nice job making these cute.

I printed this recipe last year and stored it in one of my many binders. As I was going through it, I was in the mood for a marshmallowy treat. Plus I had maraschino cherries to use from my cherry chocolate blossoms. The original recipe didn’t call for sprinkles, but I thought the addition made them more like a sundae. I cut the recipe in half and got a dozen cookies.
