More sprinkles

It’s not a celebration until the sprinkles come out!

In preparation for our nation’s semiquincentennial, the three granddaughters went all out with cookies, icing, and sprinkles. Once we baked the star and USA-shaped cookies, they got to work with red and white icing and patriotic sprinkles.

The best moment of the decorating was when one of them heaped on a 1/2-inch stack of red, white, and blue sprinkles and asked, “Is that enough?”

A cardinal rule of cookie decorating is that a cookie cannot have too many sprinkles. If you think you do, you need more. Sprinkles falling onto the floor? You must need more icing! And then more sprinkles.
