🌟 Tips & Variations

Chewier cookies: Slightly underbake and let finish setting on the baking sheet.

More colorful: Use confetti quins (the flat round sprinkles) instead of jimmies.

Seasonal twist: Swap rainbow sprinkles for holiday colors (red & green, pastel, etc.).

Frosted version: Top cooled cookies with cream cheese frosting and more sprinkles.
