Sprinkle Cookies

My youngest son's favourite. I don't know if its the sprinkles or maybe its the soft sugar cookie but this cookie appeals to all kids. I love to serve cookies for dessert at family gatherings. People can just grab a cookie and continue to visit and the kids don't make a mess. There is no need for plates or forks. It's a win-win.

Start by creaming the butter and the sugar. Mix well until they are well combined and have lightened in colour.

Add the eggs, vanilla and almond extract. Mix well.







Add the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt and freshly grated nutmeg.  combine gently until well mixed.

The nutmeg is the secret ingredient. It will have a far superior flavour if it is freshly grated.

Spread a whole jar of round, multi colored sprinkles into a shallow plate. I have used a pie plate here. Drop the balls of cookie dough right onto the sprinkles. I like to use a small ice cream scoop to make the job go faster.

Press the dough into the sprinkles gently so that the whole bottom surface is covered with the sprinkles.

Flp the cookies over so that the sprinkles are on the top. Put them onto an ungreased cookie sheet pan. Bake them for 8-10 minutes.

I like to bake these cookies until they just start to turn golden.

They are just so delicious. A great treat to share with the class. Excellent for bake sales.

They freeze very well too, if they last that long.

Rolo Two Bite Brownies

Just a few basic ingredients make a delicious chewy fudgy brownie. So quick to put together and one bowl to clean up, too.

Don't buy a boxed mix again.










Combine flour, sugar, salt, cocoa, vanilla, oil, eggs, and water. Mix with electric mixer just until combined.

Fill four dozen mini muffin cups that have been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Underbake a bit so the middle is very fudgy.

Remove from oven when they are done . Let them sit in the hot pans for five minutes. Remove brownies to a cooling rack.

Push a mini rolo candy on top of each brownie while they are still warm.

Let them cool completely. Store them in an airtight container. They freeze beautifully.

Ooey, gooey, good
