Happy Halloween! While a ghostly recipe (or a spooky spider one) might have been more appropriate for today, here I am sharing Slice & Bake Cookies, not an orange or black sprinkle in sight. Today’s recipe is something of a cross between my favorite sugar cookies and my funfetti cookies. A buttery, slightly crisp cookie packed full of sprinkles. I just lacked the foresight to make them orange and black sprinkles 🙄
Dress up your Slice and Bake Cookies with Chocolate!
Slice & Bake cookies stand alone nicely with their buttery flavor and subtle crispness, but if you want to dress them up a bit you certainly can. I sometimes like to dip mine in chocolate and additional nonpareils. To do this, I recommend using dark chocolate (or white chocolate, if you prefer) melting wafers. A 10 oz bag will work well for this recipe (assuming you dip each cookie halfway). Prepare according to package instructions and immediately sprinkle with nonpareils/sprinkles. Set cookies on a wax paper lined baking sheet for the chocolate to harden. If you prefer to use chocolate chips rather than melting wafers, you certainly can, but I recommend adding about a teaspoon of shortening in with the chocolate. This will make it smoother and less thick and just all-around easier for dipping your slice and bake cookies.
Enjoy!
