Do You Put Sprinkles on Cookies Before or After Baking?

When it comes to these Sprinkle Cake Mix Cookies, you’ll want to add your sprinkles to the cookies BEFORE baking. There’s no need to add any sprinkles to the batter, though.

How Do You Get Sprinkles To Stick To Unbaked Cookies?

You’ll simply roll your dough balls in the sprinkles to give them a generous coating, then bake. The result is such a fun and festive, colorful treat!

Do Sprinkles Melt In Oven?

No, but they will become somewhat soft. Then after your cookies have cooled, the sprinkles will harden again.

    This is my kind of baking – you can’t beat a good packet mix, can you? We use Betty Crocker a lot and her mixes always come out well. These look like a must try too, thank you for the tip!

    These cookies look delicious.
    Unfortunately I really never bake cookies or other pastries.
    There are two of us so I just buy something in the store.

    Oh my word. Love how easy these are to make. I think the texture of adding the sprinkles on before you bake them so they kind of embed in the cookie is the best. So festive. Wishing you and your family a very safe and happy holiday season.

    Dying over these right now, Heidi! Someone brought Christmas cookies with sprinkles to our family party and when the littles asked me if I knew how to make them too, I told them I would have to google it. I had NO idea they were talking about cookies that were this easy to make. They’re going to lose it when I bring these to Christmas. Thanks so much for the recipe. Hugs, CoCo

    I just made a pillow for my mother in law using fabric I already had. I traced my kid’s hands and cut them out of fabric. Then I stitched them onto 4 blocks (4 kids) and sewed them together. I used a coordinating fabric on the back and stuffed it with stuffing. I would have used a pillow form if I had one, but all I had was stuffing left over from another project. All in all it only cost me my time and I am sure she will be thrilled.
