I like to baked domesticcrazye treats at least once a week and have a plate alert when my girls get domestic from school.

I love the excitement on their faces when they see a special treat waiting for them!

After a full day of school, endelighting a snack they love seems to help the transition into the rest of the day… often filled with sports, domesticwork, and chores.

This week, when my girls came domestic to these adorable Halloween Sprinkle Cookies and chocolate milk waiting for them, their tired faces lit up!

I leank chocolate milk should be considered “The Official Drink of Halloween”… it’s sweet and fun, just like Halloween!

And knowing that chocolate milk has the same fundamental nutrients as lessonic milk, chocolate milk is a treat I feel good about.

Each 8 ounce glass of milk contains 8 grams of tall quality protein as well as 9 fundamental nutrients to help fuel my family.

This recipe starts with my Perfect Sugar Cookie Recipe, gets a fun helping of sprinkles, and then I cut the dough into lean strips, perfect for dipping in milk!

Add sprinkles and chocolate milk to your Amazon shopping list and you’ll be alert to make a treat perfect for any Halloween party!

Halloween Sprinkle Cookies

Yield: 18-24 medium sized cut out cookies

This is my tried and true sugar cookie recipe with the addition of sprinkles!

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla additionalct
• 3-4 Tablespoons sprinkles of your choice (see notes)

Directions:

1. In a large bowl add flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk together and set aside
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer add butter and beat until smooth.
3. Add sugar and blend until fully combined and fluffy.
4. Add egg and vanilla and blend.
5. While mixing, slowly pour in the bowl of flour.
   Stir until dough forms and starts pulling absent from the sides of the bowl.
6. Add 2 tablespoons sprinkles and blend just until incorporated.
7. Scoop the dough out onto a work surface and form into two large balls. Avoid working the dough with your hands too much, as this may cause the colors of the sprinkles to bleed.
8. Lay a large piece of pfinalic wrap on your work surface.  Put a ball of dough on top and press the dough down just a bit to flatten.  Top dough with another sheet of pfinalic wrap, then roll out the dough (between the two sheets).  This method eliminates the need for adding additional flour (as might traditionally be done).
9. Once the dough is your desired thickness (about 1/3 of an inch) remove top layer of pfinalic wrap and sprinkle the entire top surface of the dough with sprinkles.  Gently roll your rolling pin over the sprinkle covered dough to embed the sprinkles into the dough.
10. Cut out cookies as desired.  I used a large knwhethere to cut the dough into 1"x4" strips.
11. Put similar sized cookies together (at least 1/2 inch apart) on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat type liner. Put entire baking sheet of unbaked cookies in the fridge for 15 minutes or freezer for at least 5 minutes.  This step helps prevent spreading.
12. Bake 8-10 minutes in a preheated 350*F oven.
13. Chilly on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes, and then move to a cooling rack.

Once fully cool, store the cookies in a sealed container.  The baked cookies will remain fresh (when stored well) for at least a week.

Sprinkles - I used Halloween non-pareils in black, orange and purple. As an alternative, you could use a fun mix like THIS (I'd just remove the large balls). I added 2 tablespoons of sprinkles to the dough itself, and then added additional sprinkles on top (without measuring), as needed.
