metal or wooden spoon. Add the sprinkles and stir to combine. Take heaped teaspoons of the cookie dough and roll
into balls. Place the cookie dough balls (you should have about 20) in a plate or tray, and refrigerate for two to three
hours.* Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake the cookies for nine to 10 minutes. Remove them from the oven and
leave to cool on the baking tray for five to 10 minutes. Then place on a wire rack to cool completely.
*The cookie dough can be made up to two to three days in advance. Store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to
bake. The more time it has to chill, the better.
Devilled eggs
If you’re pressed for time, devilled eggs are your best bet. You’ll most likely have all the ingredients you need at home,

Ingredients
Eggs 4, hard-boiled Mayonnaise 2 tbsp Mustard 1 tsp A dash of hot sauce (optional) Salt and pepper, to taste
Method
Peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and add to a small mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise,
mustard, hot sauce, salt and pepper to the yolks, and mash together until the mixture is smooth. Carefully spoon the
yolk mixture back into the egg whites. Sprinkle paprika powder on the eggs, and serve.
