My favorite sprinkles for these cookies are any kind of colored jimmies. Sweetapolita has such a fabulous selection. Your local grocery store bakery department can also sell you a container from their bulk supply.

This recipe is fairly simple and is a great one to include your kids in the kitchen. Keep in mind that you'll need to refrigerate the dough for about an hour before baking, so you'll need to set aside time for this recipe!
