      What if you don't have parchment paper? What would you use then?

        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.

      Do you need to roll in sugar or can they just be rolled in sprinkles?

        You don't have to roll them in the sugar and just do sprinkles instead.

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