Chocolate Sprinkle Sandwich Cookies Recipe (2024)

FAQs

Do you put sprinkles on before or after baking cookies? ›

You have to put the sprinkles on before baking cookies, so they will stick, unless you're going to frost them, in which case the sprinkles go after the frosting.

Make an egg wash—add pasteurized egg whites and a splash of water to a small bowl and mix with a fork until combined. Brush the tops of the cooled cookies with the egg wash and immediately add sprinkles.

Will my sprinkles burn in the oven if I put them on the cookies before baking? Nope! As long as you follow the recipe and use the correct oven temperature, you should have no problems with sprinkles burning while baking.

Ingredients. Sugar, vegetable oil (palm, palm kernel), cornstarch, cocoa with alkali, confectioner's glaze, dextrin, natural and artificial flavor, soy lecithin, carnauba wax.

While the cookies are still warm from the oven you can press sprinkles gently into the slightly soft surface. If you want better adhesion you can brush the cookie with corn syrup and then dip it into the sprinkles. Once the corn syrup sets the sprinkles will be solidly stuck to the surface.

The easiest thing to do is to brush the tops of the cookies with a little bit of water or milk, using just enough to dampen the cookie dough and no more. This will help the sprinkles stick and won't change the finished appearance of the cookie when you're done baking.

Use a damp surface: One of the best ways to get sprinkles to stick is to use a damp surface. Before you add your sprinkles, lightly mist the frosting or glaze with a spray bottle filled with water. This will help the sprinkles adhere better.

So if you want to bake sprinkles into a funfetti batter or dough, you'll want to use jimmies or confetti sprinkles for the best results. These sprinkles will hold their shape and colour the best when baked. Cachous, sugar pearls and rods are the show-stoppers in the decorating world.

Pour sprinkles in their own plate or bowl. Paint corn syrup on around the outer edge of the glass. Alternatively, you can also dip or roll the edge of the glass in the corn syrup bowl for a minimal layer of sprinkles. Painting around the edge will give you a wider rim for more sprinkles which is the method we chose.

Sprinkles: For confetti cake, bakers will universally advise using jimmies – aka the long rainbow sprinkles. Nonpareils, or the little balls, are much more prone to bleeding color.

What's the difference between sprinkles and jimmies? ›

In the Northeastern United States, sprinkles are often referred to as jimmies. "Jimmies", in this sense, are usually considered to be used as an ice cream topping, while sprinkles are for decorating baked goods, but the term can be used for both.

In the United States, “Sprinkles” is probably the most popular catch-all term for all of these bits of garnish. But within that category, there are many names, shapes, and sizes: nonpareils, hundreds-and-thousands, jimmies, sanding sugar, pearl sugar, and dragees.

Back then, all chocolate sprinkles were made with real cocoa and sugar, extruded and cut to size. But today, some chocolate-sprinkle manufacturers forgo the cocoa, or use only trace amounts, to save money, which is why crappy sprinkles taste like nothing more than wax-coated sugar.

White chocolate jazzies are chocolate flavour round buttons that have been covered in hundreds and thousands. These candy sprinkles have made these sweets very popular all over the planet. Made by Hannahs, these creamy white chocolate flavour buttons are also known as white gems, jazzles or even snowies!

Sanding sugar can be sprinkled directly onto the wet icing, too. I recommend using tweezers to place dragées and nonpareils precisely on the cookie. You can still attach decorations after the flood icing has dried—just use a dab of the same color icing to affix the decoration.

The key to getting sprinkles to stick to dry icing is to heat the icing a bit before adding the sprinkles.

The solution? If you dust the top of brownie batter with sprinkles just before baking, the sprinkles slightly sink into the batter and remain in position after baking. Alternatively, incorporate sprinkles with wet batter to include them in the brownie's center.
