If sprinkles make me happy, then sprinkles on a Kate Spade purse will make me turn cartwheels. And I nearly flipped when I saw her Sprinkles Mallory Wristlet. It’s adorable and even though I’m no fashion maven, I simply had to have it. It’s just the sort of thing that I can’t resist sharing so I’m giving one away!
I also made some delicious little lemon sandies and sprinkled them to match. They are as cute as a button and really easy to make, so even if you don’t win the Kate Spade wristlet you can still have pretty sprinkle cookies any time you like!

Lemon Sprinkle Sandies
These cookies hold their shape best if they are chilled. I like to put the sprinkle-coated dough balls in the freezer overnight and bake them the next day. You can certainly bake these right after rolling them in nonpareils, but not chilling them will yield a flatter cookie. Be sure to have plenty of multicolor nonpareils on hand to make these, I used an entire 3.75 oz bottle. Metallic dragees and pearlized nonpareils are not recommended for this recipe because they melt easily during baking. Using a cookie scoop will help achieve uniformly sized cookies.
1cup butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons lemon extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
Zest of 1 lemon
Multicolor nonpareils (at least a 3.75 oz. jar)
- Preheat
oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper; set aside. - Beat
butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add powdered
sugar and beat again until combined. Scrape down the bowl and beat in vanilla
and lemon extracts. Beat in the
flour, salt and lemon zest. The dough should not be sticky
and should hold together when a small amount is squeezed in the palm of your
hand. - Shape
mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls (a little over 1 tablespoon of dough). Roll dough
balls in nonpareils. Arrange balls 1 inch apart on prepared cookie sheets. - Bake
in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until bottoms of cookies are
light brown. Frozen cookie dough will take slightly longer to bake. Transfer to
wire racks and let cool. - Keep
in an air-tight container or in a zip-top bag with the air removed.
A recipe I found on Allrecipes.com called "mocha moaners"
Those cookies look delicious, but my all time favorite would have to be chocolate chip cookies.
So pretty! I just love you photographs!

my favorite cookie is a mocha chocolate chip cookie from a local bakery. it's moist and so rich and chocolatey! my email address is rachelfrenkil@gmail.com
Asking me to choose a favorite cookie is like asking me to choose a favorite child! I truly like ANY kind of cookie, but I suppose a real favorite that takes me back to childhood are the simple no-bake chocolate oatmeal kind. I truly can't control myself when they are around!

So pretty and I love lemon. I love most any cookie but oatmeal with pecans, apricot and cranberries rates pretty high
These look wonderful. My favorite cookies are chocolate chip, but with peanutbutter chips substituted for half of the chocolate chips.

I'm a cookie addict! I've rarely met a cookie I didn't like but my favorite is my mom's chocolate chip, oatmeal, peanut butter, pecan, topped with m&m's. Yeah, we need to come up with a better name for that one. 🙂 Your Sprinkle Sandies are adorable!
My grandma made what she called "snowball" cookies, and they will always be my favorite. They were basically a standard mexican wedding cookie / russian tea cake, but grandma's were always the best. 🙂
