  • cookie scoop (1.5 tbsps)

steps

  1. make the sprinkle sugar cookie dough: in a medium mixing bowl, combine 6 tbsps unsalted butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, & 1/4 cup granulated sugar. beat together with a hand mixer or whisk until well combined - it should be slightly light & fluffy

  2. add in 1 egg yolk & 1 tsp vanilla extract, beat/whisk to combine

  3. sift in 1 cup + 2 tbsps all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, & 1/4 tsp cream of tartar. stir with spatula to combine. add in about 1/4 cup sprinkles, combine well

  4. using a small cookie scoop (about 1.5 tbsps), portion out the dough and roll into about 10 balls. top each cookie dough ball with extra sprinkles. cover and chill for at least 30 minutes or overnight

  5. bake the sprinkle sugar cookies: preheat oven to 350f

  6. evenly place cookie dough balls on prepared baking sheet

  7. bake for 10-11 minutes in the oven, cookies should be puffed up, cracked on top, and set on the edges but center should still be very soft. use a large round cookie cutter or anything round to shape cookies immediately after they come out of the oven. let cool on the baking sheet for about 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely

  8. assemble the cotton candy ice cream sandwiches: lay a sprinkle sugar cookie on the back side and place a generous scoop of cotton candy ice cream. gently place another sprinkle sugar cookie on top. serve immediately

  9. enjoy!
