Sprinkledoodles {on a stick}

How fun would these rainbow sprinkle cookies be for St. Patty's Day?  Cookies on a stick are a fun tradition in our family and the kids go crazy for them.  Especially this colorful version!  Really they can be adapted to any holiday/season by changing up your sprinkles.  They are perfect for parties or gifting.  They package up nicely and transport easily.  Our mom used to bring them to school on our birthdays.  They are happiness on a stick.

These cookies can be summed up in 6 simple steps:

1) Start with a snickerdoodle cookie dough base.  2) Roll in your favorite sprinkles.  3) Insert popsicle sticks and flatten slightly.  5) Bake until they begin to set up.  6) Be the coolest mom/neighbor/friend ever!

Quick tip on the sprinkles:  you can often ask for seasonal sprinkles at your local bakery and they will sell any amount you need to you in a little tub super inexpensively!  We have tried this successfully at both Smith's/Kroger and Wal-mart.  

Is it wrong (or lame?) that this gif is so fun for me to watch?

Ingredients:

---

1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 ¾ cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Sprinkles
Popsicle sticks

Directions:

---

Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and mix until well combined. Add flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350. Roll into balls (about golf ball sized). Roll each ball in sprinkles. Insert popsicle sticks about halfway into cookie dough balls. Place on a lined baking sheet. Gently press each cookie with a glass or other flat surface.

Bake until edges begin to set up, about 8-10 minutes.

Notes:

---

I safely can bake 6 cookies per sheet (11x17 pan) - golf ball size is much bigger than most cookies I do. And since you don’t want the cookies running into the other popsicle sticks as they spread and bake is a good reason to bake fewer per sheet. Arrange the sticks and cookies so they don’t spread into each other.
