Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup ground almonds
- 1 large egg
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner. Set aside.
- Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy - about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the vanilla and ground almonds. On low speed, beat in until just mixed through.
- Add the egg next and beat until mixture is smooth.
- Finally, beat in the flour until combined.
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round piping tip.
- Holding the piping bag straight vertically, with the tip just 1/2 inch from the prepared baking sheet, squeeze out the dough until a 1 inch circle is formed. Leave 2 inches of space between each cookie. You will need to prepare and bake in batches.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
- Once cookies are cooled, melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler. Transfer chocolate to resealable sandwich bag and cut a small hole in the lower corner. Drizzle the chocolate over the cooled cookies and top with sprinkles.
- Allow the chocolate to cool and set before packaging cookies.
