Basically, I was just looking for any reason to use sprinkles in my cookies!

This was an experiment that I thought would be fun to try with my son. He has been asking to make cookies every day! With St. Patrick’s Day on it’s way, I have been brainstorming fun ideas for things to bake up to celebrate. Sprinkles are always an easy way to add a festive touch, so I wanted to see if they would work IN the cookies. Well, it worked!! I can’t promise that these work with any sprinkles, but I used Fancy Spinkles for this. Their St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles are so adorable. Use the code FROMSCRATCHWITHMARIA15 for 15% off your order.

This is a fun one to get your kids involved with. You can see all of my tips for making chocolate chip cookies here! However, sometimes when I am baking with my kids, I let them take the reins and if the cookies end up a bit more dense, well, then they do. These are all about getting in the kitchen, teaching them to measure, stir, and simply be patient!
