Let’s not pretend that we only make sprinkle cookies for the children. Sprinkle cookies might elicit childhood memories, but they’re also the answer when we need pastry perfection with our adult cup of coffee or tea. Crumbly, colorful, and deliciously sweet, sprinkle cookies transcend the barriers of age and time. Make any of these recipes below and your family, young and old, will savor every colorful bite.

Imitation Reisman’s Sprinkle Cookies

I got this recipe from my sister Elisheva, and whoever tastes it loves it. It’s very easy to make, and I make it in a gallon-sized ziplock bag to save on the cleanup. I usually double the recipe and freeze some for another time.

YIELDS ABOUT 38 COOKIES

• ¾ cup oil
• ¾ cup sugar
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2¼ cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• melted chocolate, for topping
• sprinkles, for topping

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Mix all ingredients together in a ziplock bag.

Form balls using an ice cream scoop and place on baking sheet, leaving space between the cookies, as they flatten a bit. Bake for 11–12 minutes.

After they cool, drizzle with melted chocolate and colorful sprinkles. The sprinkles will stick to the chocolate.
