Birthday Cake Sugar Cookies

This one is from thesweetandsimplekitchen.com and they are so good. Plus anything with sprinkles just makes people happy 🙂 They have a beautiful crackle top and are nice and chewy in the middle. The perfect cookie combination, plus sprinkles 😉

The recipe makes 12 giant cookies but I went with 20 regular cookies so I could spread that sprinkle joy a little further!
