Raspberry and Sprinkles

Why we love these cookies:
- A very unusual cookie with the surprise middle flavor
- Very flavorful with the outside butter cookie and the raspberry center
- A bit crunchy from the sprinkles – everyone loves this
- Perfect for celebrations with colorful sprinkles.
- Perfect for kids to help make, they like rolling the dough balls in the sprinkles
I know you are thinking ~ these pastel sprinkles are AWESOME!
Ingredients
- Butter – buttery flavor is what the outside of these cookies are all about, just make sure to use room temperature
- Sugar – these cookies +have just the right amount of sweetness
- Baking powder – your cookies need to rise, right, flat cookies are….well, just flat
- Salt – not too much, but salt adds flavor
- Eggs – you will be using 1 whole egg and 2 yolks. The yolks add a rich flavor, and who doesn’t like flavor
- Vanilla – flavor, flavor, flavor – use the best you can find
- Flour – all-purpose is what I use
- Raspberry flavoring – flavoring oils are easy to use and add great flavor
- Pink food color – just a few drops make the raspberry centers a pretty color
- Pastel nonpareil sprinkles – look for pastel colors
Let’s make cookies!
Step 1. In a large bowl mix the butter until fluffy then add the sugar baking powder and salt; mix until combined.
Step 2. Mix in the egg, egg yolks, and vanilla until combined, scraping sides of the bowl.
Step 3. Mix in the flour until combined, forming a soft dough.
Can you freeze these cookies?
Yes, they freeze very well. Just bake and cool completely, then place in a plastic freezer bag or airtight container. Store in the freezer for about 2 to 3 months. Let thaw completely then enjoying.

This recipe is one I have made over and over again in so many different colors and flavors. Today’s recipe is perfect for Easter Cookies or Mother’s Day but with a quick change, you can make these cookies for just about any occasion, and trust me I have found sprinkles colors for all kinds of variations. These are some of One Hot Oven’s favorites.
