Hi Kim, thanks for catching that. I have added that step into the directions. I hope you enjoyed the Christmas Sugar Cookie Bars!
I didn’t see anything about adding the sprinkles to cookie dough? How much??
Hi Karen, the sprinkles are listed in the ingredients now, thanks for catching that. I would just use one small bottle. If you like a lot of sprinkles, you can always use more!
