    1. If you don’t have parchment or wax paper that’s ok. Just watch the cookies closer to the end. Maybe pull them out of the over 1 to 2 mins early and let them finish on the baking sheet. Make sure you spray your baking sheet if you do not use paper.

  1. In my mind, add cake batter to anything, and it instantly makes it amazing. And then there’s sprinkles – my weakness 🙂

  2. These cookies look like the perfect gift for my best friend who is in the 3rd trimester of her first pregnancy. They are sure to satisfy her craving for sweets. Thank you Jennie and Happy Wednesday 🙂
