Tips for Making the Best Chocolate Blossom Cookies
- Watch the cookies carefully while they are baking. You do not want to over bake the cookies.
- Change up the holiday sprinkles for any holiday. Use pastel sprinkles in the spring and other festive holiday sprinkles for different holidays and seasons.
- Be sure to use “Jimmies Sprinkles”, which are the straight line sprinkles, or the little ball sprinkles called “nonpareils”.. If your sprinkles are too thick they will melt in the oven so stay away from the shaped sprinkles like stars and hearts.
