sprinkles on cookies

[huey duey & luey]

Ok, this maybe a really dumb question. I am making Shamrock shaped sugar cookies with green sprinkles. Do I bake the cookie with the sprinkles on, or do I put them on after? If I put them on after how do they stay on the cookies? Thanks

I don't know but I want cookies now.

Are you frosting the cookies?

If yes, then put them on after you frost.
If no, then put them on before you bake.
Then send some to me.

Another tip, if you want your kids to help and don't want sprinkles flying all over the kitchen brush some egg white on the cookie before putting the sprinkles on and baking. For some reason sprinkles really bounce off cookies when DD is putting them on so I tried this the last couple of times and it really helped. Also, put the cookie sheet in the sink while you're putting the sprinkles on to minimize the mess.

Good tip! Thanks.
