You are too cute. You do not need to apologize for tasting your cookie batter. Everyone does. Generations of us licked beaters and survived to tell the tale!😉❤
Bless you! We have all made similar boo boos. Glad you can give yourself grace.❤
Yes. Never had a problem eating raw cookie dough
Gosh Becky I have been baking for years and I have had plenty of mistakes! You are a blessing to watch.
I was making cookies in our community room this weekend and someone came in and tasted the batter, then dipped the same finger she just licked back into the bowl to get another taste. I couldn't even try one after that. gross..
I thought the same thing when she apologized for tasting the cookie batter. I was like what, doesn't everybody do that? 😂 One of my fondest memories of my mom baking was the anticipation of waiting for her to hand me a beater to lick. Did that with my kids too and now my grandkids ❤
I had all my cookies planned out…… ho humbies, now I want to add two of these recipes! lol. Becky, you have not only inspired me to do canning but I have upped my game in baking and cooking. Meals in a jar, frozen cookies in freezer, I even planted hordes of garlic into my flower beds. Age 76 isn’t so old anymore……. Thank you
Amen! Not when you’re inspired!
Debbie Lavigne here ❤. I will be 70 in March. I too have changed up my kitchen shenanigans. I have always thought about canning but working 2 jobs and balancing my life with my husband and 3 very active kids left no time. My late husband and I pretty much cooked the tried and true recipes. This year, I planted some herbs and vegetables I've never grown before. I also learned to waterbath can and pressure can. It definitely makes you feel young again.
@@robertlavigne6560Good for you!
Thank you for these recipes. Always inspiring.
Same
Oh Becky I love that you dont hide when you make mistakes and show us you are just like all the rest of us instead of trying to appear "perfect" as so many other you tubers do. This is why I watch you because you are real and so much like all the rest of us!! Thank you for all the amazing videos and recipes!!
Mom always told me if you're not making mistakes occasionally, you're not doing anything. Even something you've done a dozen times can turn out wrong. Looks delicious!
It's the only way to learn by making mistakes.
I love when you show us your ooops moments. Just shows how transparent you are and I appreciate that ❤
I felt so bad the entire time. She was so excited making them but we all knew 🥺
I wasn’t aware of Becky’s mistake until she was talking over her video and mentioned the mistake then!!
I felt so bad for Becky because she is such a great person, and a wonderful cook.
Becky your videos are excellent and encourage me to try new recipes. Perhaps it would help if you prepare the measured ingredients first. It would take a little time, but less chance of spoiling the batter with one little mistake. I’m going to try some of these cookies with my grandchildren. Thank you x
@@jeanyv9601 I agree, I follow a few professional chefs and they say to always measure first. You'll definitely have more dishes to wash but Becky mentioned being dyslexic so it may help her.
Makes you more real. Though I love Martha, she's too perfect. You are just right.
1/4 cup flour = 31 grams
1/3 cup flour = 42 grams
1/2 cup flour = 63 grams
2/3 cup flour = 83 grams
3/4 cup flour = 94 grams
1 cup flour = 125 grams
I'm so excited for this video!!! I'm also trying my best to use the digital scale to weigh my flour!! Learned this from preppy chef!
A lot of 1 cup recipes say 145g. That’s why I don’t convert recipes because they likely weren’t tested that way.
The weight depends a lot on the type of flour you use. They don't all have the same density.
It was so nice of you to post this. Maybe someone can test these recipes being made by weight and let us know. 😊
Oh thank you
Great job!! Use those chocolate cookies as a cheesecake crust. I’ll bet that will be amazing.
Or any pie crust ... French Silk, or any chocolate pie, Cheesecake, Vanilla Cream. Or, use them to sprinkle over ice cream desserts.
Becky, I am not Dyslexic, and I've screwed up more recipes than you've ever made. It happens when you cook a lot!
I am SO PROUD of you for your successes. I have a daughter with a reading disorder (C.I.), and I know how difficult it can be to get the words right.
Your creativity and overall personality are amazing and we love you loads.
Thanks for being our friend. ❤
My mother always taught me to pre measure my ingredients. If you pre measure your ingredients instead of doing them on the fly, you have time to double check yourself and you don’t ruin a whole batch by adding too much or omitting something critical. You also know if you have all the ingredients you will need and you don’t forget to add something. It takes pre-planning but has saved me on many occasions!
If a person doesn’t have time to do it right the first time, when will you have time to do it over?
I took an online class recently with a French pastry chef….she insists we must weigh our ingredients and hers were metric, naturally. I ordered a scale in case I want to bake appropriately in the future because trying to convert a recipe from metric is math and, EW!
I agree that it is very useful to measure out all your ingredients before you start. What I like to do is make a bunch of different dough recipes in one day, refrigerate them, then bake on another day. I so admire Becky’s tremendous ambition but sometimes trying to do too much at once can lead to mistakes.
Another strategy is to use a highlighter over every second line of the recipe ingredients.
Just a friendly suggestion. Take heed and pre measure your ingredients when baking. Not only are you dealing with dyslexia, talking while you measure ingredients, but you are making a lot of different recipes and new recipes to boot. I used to make and sell cookies for the holidays and always found pre measuring my dry ingredients saved me a lot of heartache and made my days go much smoother. The other option is make less recipes so you don't have to rush to get your content out. Have an enjoyable holiday season.
The amount of product and money wasted is what saddens me. It’s like the saying “measure twice and cut once” Becky. You always seem to be impatient. I know because that was me in the old days. I had to learn to take a few deep breaths between jobs. Good luck next time. Merry Christmas 🎄
Becky, I turned 65 on December 3rd, and despite my "acceletated life experience", I wanted you to know that you have taught me so much on how to "Bob and weave" while cooking! "Well, that didn't work, so we will do this," or, "I don't have this or that or enough this or that, so we will do this!" We are never too old to learn. You make cooking fun again! Thank you!!❤
Yes! Agreed.
Oh my goodness all the cookies looked amazing. How lucky is Josh to have such a wonderful wife that provides tasty wonderful meals for him and holiday goodies for his work colleagues. You are truly a blessing xx ❤
Thanks for not cutting out your errors- this is how we learn and why I watch your channel !
Becky, I would suggest flattening the cookies first and then only pressing the top side of the cookies into the sprinkles. That way it saves enough sprinkles to complete the 2 dozen cookies. 😉❤️
PS.) They all turned out Beautifully!! I really love the cookies dipped into the chocolate and then coated with the broken peppermint candies. Those are so cute. All of them are!!
I have made this same mistake more times than I can count. One tip I learned is to use a sticky note to hide the next step or ingredient and move it down as you work through the recipe. This will keep your eyes focused on one line.
So glad you didn’t beat yourself up about it. Live and learn. That’s all we can do.
When baking, you have to do absolute precise measurements.
I totally mean this as a compliment. Your videos are the best to put me to sleep. I love cooking, so my mind focuses on the ingredients, and your voice is calm and soothing. Thank you so much! I am in the middle of covid. I wake up after 2 hours of sleep. I can't take anything else to put me back to sleep. You're the best!
When you started baking in both ovens I thought it would be interesting to compare and not how the two ovens bake. A great experiment!
Friend great job please remember we all mess up sometimes I think you did great and your hubby should be very proud … thank you for sharing and see you next time!!
just a quick note about cracking eggs directly into your batter. I once had ordered a banana bread sandwich (2 slices of banana bread with a cream cheese frosting in the middle...delicious!) BUT!!! I it was ruined when I bit into a spot where the shell was in the banana bread portion...absolutely ruined it for me. I couldn't eat another bite. when you crack your eggs directly into your batter with the machine running you take the risk of shells falling in and there's no way you can retrieve all of them. love watching your videos! You are so authentic and realistic! we all make mistakes and I love that you're not afraid to share them with us. Thank you for being you and for sharing all your love of homesteading with all of us.
Hey there how are you doing today hope you are enjoying the Christmas holiday 🎉🎉🎉
Becky on the sprinkle cookies press them out after rolling into a ball and then pat one side in the sprinkles and place on cookie sheet sprinkle side up. No need to sprinkle the bottoms of the cookies.
Don't beat yourself up, Becky, we all have those moments, I am so impressed that you actually let us see it when you make mistakes, we know you are real and I like that!!!
As a pastry chef, the corn flour is used to better control the spread of cookies and coffee brings out the chocolate flavor. Love this time of year for all the cookies 🍪
and flour mixtures should be incorporated 1/3 at a time, rather than all at once.
@@wendyw4487 yes definitely
My kidney transplant Doctor called, and told me levels went up a little but there’s no rejection. I was feeling a little down and then I see Christmas cookies extravaganza, boom you put the biggest smile on my face. Thank you for always making me happy and excited to see your videos. Oh and I bought 4.5 qt deluxe kitchen aid In silver it’s so pretty so I can bake with you!
Best wishes that your levels go down and remain stable.
Aww prayers sent your way Jennifer ❤
Sending my little prayer to God for you! 🙏
@@wynettehouston4916 thank you
@@TD-izAbxy thanks
I was taught many years ago to measure out all the ingredients before the mixing. I always go over the recipe before mixing.
A word to the wise: Move the scale out from under your bowl when you are finished weighing. You will ruin its calibration if you continually add pressure to the bowl (i.e., using it as a platform for beating or stirring ingredients, etc)
BTW, Google for charts to convert cups to grams... very handy tool!
One cup of flour is 125 grams. I try not to use cups (unless the battery died). Reminds me to buy another set for the scale and key FOBs.
@renaerolley5670 Gentle comment: I've found that different flour types have different weights. I reference the King Arthur Flour "Ingredient Weight Chart" as my guide, which indicates that an unsieved cup of AP flour is 120 grams.
Oh right, she never heard of Google.
@@huitrecouture Great! Then you know how powerful the Google Charts APP can be? Good for you - I'm not aware of many people applying it for cooking. 🌝
I love that you kept your mistake in the video and then talked about it so we knew what happened. Real life is best! Thank you for being transparent. These all looked amazing and I’ll be trying some myself 😊
Always crack your eggs into a separate dish then add to mixer(could have shell in or yolk could be bloody, then you haven't wasted the other ingredients).
Totally! I cried when that happened during one of her Christmas cookie extravaganzas (2022 or 2021 - I can't remember). She had to throw out the whole double batch of cookie dough because of a bad egg.
Blood in the egg is edible, just ugly😊 so if it happens accidentally, all is not lost
Yes I just watched a show on that. They are perfectly safe to eat. The commercial egg ers use X-Ray equipment to screen for those eggs bc, of course, no one wants to use them. Butttt, thousands of eggs are wasted from this process. .
Blood spots are fine and she'll can be picked out relatively easily, but into a bowl before does make that easier. Doesn't make me do it, though. 😂
Becky I love how you roll in the kitchen. You figure it out if you're missing an ingredient (meaning you'll find a substitute or omit) and admit a mistake was made and keep rolling with it (regardless to when you released the error) with a smile and a laugh. This is so comforting as we all have been there and you show us it doesn't have to be stressful. That's a ton of cookie recipes - so hats off to you to taking all of this on in one day. Oh and also love that you are always doing new recipes to try out!!! Dry cookies are great with ice cream😉 great idea for those cookies to be used as a tea biscuit - or maybe use them for some kind of truffle, or cookie crumble pie - ohhh now that sounds like a good come back ❤❤❤ if I do say so myself😂 Love your enthusiasm and sharing with all of us.
Love I girl, the oops parts are actually great because it shows how humble you are and how real you are… you can bake for me any time
You could make icecream sandwiches out of the chocolate ones. It may help to measure ingredients before you start, for me the extra steps helps.
Since you use a metal mixing bowl with your KitchenAid, just take your little torch and lightly run it along the sides of the bowl till the butter melts. I’ve done it often in a pinch!
Also, a quick and easy no-bake cookie is melting Andes mints and dipping Ritz crackers. They taste very similar to the Girl Scout mints. Just add festive sprinkles 😊
And…Andes makes a chip just like the chocolate and butterscotch. They’re so easy to use😊
I can also relate to the slight dyslexia. I had to quadruple one cookie when I caught an error in time, but my future self will love having extra cookie dough in the freezer 😊
I am always surprised that you rarely use liquid measuring cups when adding liquids to the recipe. It makes a difference in my experience if the liquid isn’t measured properly. I was always taught to use dry measurements or to go by weight for dry ingredients and to use liquid measuring cups for all liquids.
Yet, her recipes usually turn out fine. I’m inspired by her skill. I’m an old bird who learned to do “by the book,” too. But I admire these younger ones who dare to push the lines. I will say, some baking recipes do require more precision than cooking recipes.
Love your style, Becky.
I am so glad you shared your diagnosis. You were so familiar and I wondered always find that you are amazingly successful. I’ve always taught my kids to look at it as a positive how to master it as a gift and you definitely have mastered it as a gift. Thank you so much for sharing and keeping it real.
What diagnosis?
Becky! I watch your videos while I nurse and put my 22 month old down for naps. We lay on the couch and he knows it’s Mama’s show and we both unwind. Xox
Agree with contessa about coffee in chocolate baked goods, I’ve always added coffee to the mix, even in boxed mixes! It really gives the chocolate a deeper flavor.
How perfect is that kitchen! You love to cook and you found a house with 3 ovens. How amazing!
Hi Becky, whenever I make a new recipe that I have never made before, I pre measure my ingredients into separate dishes and add them as I need them. It keeps me from becoming confused which can happen quite easily, especially for me. Thanks. I love watching what you do, it's always interesting, informative and fun to watch. Great job !! ❤
Becky, now when I "flop" I know I am in great company and it feels like being part of a sisterhood! Mistakes - it's how we really learn!! It's a privilege to share your experiences with you!! ❤🍪 thank you!! (BTW - I bought the Presto digital canner and I LOVE it! It's been a game changer!! I've done turkey broth, a LOT of applesauce, apple juice and just plain apples.)
Hey there how are you doing today hope you are enjoying the Christmas holiday??
It is nice to see we all make mistakes. I almost put baking soda in my cookies and it called for baking powder. I want to thank your Mom for the idea of taping the recipes on the cabinets. It made a big difference in cookie making.
I love even when you make a mistake you show that too, it lets us feel like we can have mistakes in the kitchen and still be a success as well… Thanks for being real, thanks for being you. Hope your Holiday season is not all work and filled with fun for you too Merry Christmas 🎄to you and your sweet little family. May you feel God’s Blessings on you and your Family, not only during the Holiday season, but all throughout the year. 🙏
I mix coarse sugar and nonpareil sprinkles in the same bowl before rolling cookies. It looks pretty and stretches out the more expensive sprinkles.
You can also buy chopped Andes mints during the holidays. They’re usually in the baking aisle next to chocolate chips.
Becky you did good never seen so many cookies ❤.
I like watching your videos before going into work. It makes the process to getting ready for work mentally and physically easier.
Thank you Becky, your efforts help and your mistakes teach us all about grace. A word by the way I learned from you Happy Holidays my friend.
The eggnog cookies sound delish!
What helps me, Becky, Is pre measuring everything before you start your video. that way you can take your time, to make sure all the ingredients are correct. Hope this helps
I just made those sugar cookies last week! I used half white sugar, half brown sugar and rolled the balls in colored sugar...we have a new holiday cookie for our rotation! Everyone loved them.
Seeing you be nice to yourself about your dyslexia helped me do the same. I had a very rough day because of mine today but we all do our very best!
I usually pre measure all my ingredients, especially if I'm doing multiple baking recipes to avoid a mixup. I also put the double or triple amount on the recipes so that if I have to refer back to the recipes, I dont have to do math on the fly.
Every recipe I make for gifts or large family dinners, have the double, triple and 4x amounts. I cover the colums I'm not using with a sticky note, just in case my ADHD kicks up.
I like your honesty. You're doing alot of recipes in one work day! We all have misread a recipe so don't worry about your little cocoa goof. A good reminder to all! Love your videos.
Hi Becky, my name is Anna and I live in Germany. I love watching you and your family. I already tried some recipes and love them all!!! Keep doing what you're doing and stay as you are because you're just awesome!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I love seeing oooops and problems; makes us all remind ourselves that we always have something to learn. And cookies take so much work. Lots of little steps.
Hi Becky, don't worry about the chocolate cookies, I often use cookies for crusts in cheesecake or other pies I just add extra butter after I crush them I a food processor. Love your channel.
Hi Becky!
So I own a Great American Cookies down here in Dallas Texas
And to save on sprinkles, all you really need to do is roll just half the cookie and leave the bottom without they will still look beautiful and also once you scooped the cookie dough out, you really do not have to roll them like you do your meatballs skipping them out it’s just fine🥰
Love how you didn’t skip a beat on the too much cocoa. You are awesome!
You are are just so adorable. I watch every episode. Keep being you !
Perfect timing, I'm having such a bad week, so I needed some yt time with Becky 2 put me in a better mood!!
Works every time!
Your chocolate cookie will be good for dipping in ice cold milk. My Dad would love them. Great job Becky! ❤
There is something so cathartic & satisfying as a diabetic watching you make the cookies that I won’t.💕💕🙏💕💕🙏
Yes! Hubby is diabetic so no baking sweets here but it is fun to watch others.
My son’s favorite cookie is snickerdoodle so I would roll them in cinnamon and sugar and add some colored sugar as well.
Can I just say your kitchen is amazing! love all the ovens! slightly jealous 😊
I love her kitchen island!
I would love those chocolate cookies with a cup of coffee! I love dryer cookies with hot coffee in the morning while a read. Yummy!
Me, too! It's time to buy some ginger snaps...my favorite breakfast in winter.
I made chocolate cherry cookies one year and they were the most decadent, richest softest cookies every...turns out I had like doubled the amount of butter it called for. We still ate them, but we had to split them between two or three people because they were too much to eat a full one by yourself. Another year I tried to make chocolate chip cookies and they were so hard we had a friend joke that he could use them as weapons! I'm not a baker, lol! Thanks for sharing all of these ideas!
Beautiful cookies! When I was about 12 I started making Christmas cut out sugar cookies I am 57 I have those special cutters still❤just took me back your videos are heart felt😊
Becky what a great video! The cookies all look good. I always tell my family, I share the good the bad and the ugly! Have a great week!😊
It makes me so happy opening the app and seeing that you have new videos ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your eggnog recipe is amazing! I’ve made it 4x this holiday season! Everyone LOVES IT!! A new family favorite! I’m actually making it for gifts!
They all look delicious, I always appreciate you leaving the oops moments in your videos, you are a rare find on you tube, authentic and a real awesome cook, great job friend, Merry Christmas to you all x
I'm super early for once!! WOO! SO excited to get baking ideas for Chirstmas this year!! You rock Becky!
Thanks for sharing part of your lives with others throughout our world via You Tube and Social Media. You are a beautiful family and very inspiring and entertaining! Thank you! I found You Tube and your wonderful channel a few years ago. It is like chatting with a great, precious friend. Thank you! What you share has helped me over come my anxiety. I love watching your channel when I might be feeling a little overwhelmed from having anxiety about different things, needing some mama time, doing household chores, cooking for our precious family of four and needing recipe and meal inspiration and or just wanting to relax a little. I look forward to seeing what God has for your channel in 2024. Much love, prayers and God Bless for CHRISTmas and the New Year from our family to yours from Australia . xxx
Looked thru the messages to see if anyone else noticed this.
The recipe with the Andes mints that you linked to says, to melt the butter, chocolate chips and Andes mints, allow to cool, before adding to the whipped sugar and eggs. It also says to FOLD in the flour being sure not to over mix.
Hey Becky! I have a strong case of dyslexia myself. One of the biggest things that helped me was reading strips/guides. They now have them in lots of colors for kids but I started with just a black piece of cardboard with a line cut out of it. It really made a difference. Forced myself to read for at least half an hour a day and now I can read without a problem. I do still use them for reading recipes and things that I have to go back and forth on. Hope you try it and hope it will work for you!
Thank you so much for this input Tamara! My daughter was just diagnosed with dyslexia, ordered some strips there now. Never heard of them before😘
@@evamcneill1830 Another thing that helped a lot was training each eye separately. They gave me glasses with one eye covered and then later switched the eyes. There are lots of different types of dyslexia, so check with your doctors what will do the most for your daughter.
Please please please don't take this in a negative way but slow down!!!! Enjoy the process of baking! I find for myself that I can't rush it! Love everything you do! Merry Christmas!
I used to teach cooking and the first thing I would get the students to learn was to get everything together before we start, utensils, bowls etc. and ingredients . It used to save a lot of problems later. You are a good example to today's audience.
Be careful! We have lots of sprinkles without articial colours in the UK, but they tend not to be heat stable, sometimes not the dye OR the sprinkle! So fine if you're using to decorate, but for the cookies you cover in sprinkles and then back, they might a) melt and b) lose their colour! I always save my small stash of American sprinkles for those :)
That's a good note
That explains why they don't do well here then! 😂 I don't often use sprinkles ,but the few times I have here in the uk, they have been oddly disappointing with the color loss. I never noticed it they were all natural colors, but reading this leads me assume they have been.
Becky, dont fret about the cookie fails, this is how we learn. I just made my homemade chocolate covered cherries and the expensive chocolate seized on me and ruined the batch. Oh well, i will learn from this mistake. I enjoy your cooking and I know Josh's coworkers appreciated your efforts! This is going to be good training for when Baby Acre is ready to bake and decorate cookies with his mom.
Anyone else see that it's almost an hour long and relax internally because you know that the next hour is gonna be soothing!
It always makes me happy to visit for an hour! I definitely want to try the eggnog cookies (for me and FIL) and the Andes Candies cookies (for Hubby).
You can always search for the grams, cups, oz. On the web, I do it all the time. A lot of bakers who have websites are now giving you the option of metric too. Even helping with servings too. God bless all of them!
Hi Becky. I’m new I only watched your thanksgiving special and maybe one other.
I’m kind of happy you showed your human.
I always feel inadequate when watching these cooking shows so you probably made a life long fan today.
🌞
I'm severely dyslexic as well. Luckily I went to public school and I was put in special classes. I now have a master's degree!
Your cookie-palooza is incredible. I love what you assemble for your Xmas recipe line up. By the way, melted butter that is not hot means to melt it completely, and then let it cool for 10 minutes, and not par-melted to be warm.
Recovering in hosp. from 3 broken bones in my rt leg . These sessions are going to be invaluable when I get home forstocking the fridge and freezer for future meals. Thank you so much for all the useful tricks and tips.
I love that you share the hits and misses with us. Makes me feel not alone when I make oopsies. Lol💚
Becky, don’t doubt your cookie making skills! Not all cookie recipes are meant to be soft and chewy. Just as you are doing… you’ll come to know which recipes you like the best 🍪
I used to always make Christmas cookie gift boxes for my coworkers at Christmas but I haven't managed it the last two years with a newborn and now a toddler running around. I really miss it!
I like your show much, you are real, I like the variety, your show is amazing, you don't need to be on TV. I like your personal touch, ALOHA, from a great grandmother on the BIG ISLAND HAWAII
The cookies look great, I like to keep my scale in a ziplock bag it makes an easy cleanup. And you can still tare and use the controls on the scale.
Hooray!!! I spent this morning going through my recipes for my holiday baking so I could organize my ingredient shopping list. Each year I try to add something new to the usual favorites, so your video dropped at a perfect time. 🍪
You could use the cookies that you added too much cocoa to as a pie crust for a no bake pie 😊
I’m 67 and really love the lessons I’m learning! I planted elephant garlic-first garlic to plant! I’m canning some things but hope to can more in the future! Thank you Becky! ♥️
I wish I had a friend like you go gifts wonderful treats ❤
In my house if it is edible it's a win. LOL You are a great cook & baker. I learn so much from you. I am almost 70 and still learning.
Becky the mammoth job you did for Josh's work party was epic!!! Don't be too hard on yourself, I totally use your expression, my future self thanks my past self in my freezer meals, bless you and merry Christmas ❤
I can’t stand when someone makes everything look like they didn’t make mistakes knowing everyone makes them! I love that about you. You admit mistakes so we can learn from them! Keep up your awesome videos! I never miss one!!
Its never a mistake, its an improvement, so you meed milk with them only makes them better or vanilla ice cream between the two...plus the colored sugar, put a couple of drops of food color in a cup and shake, you can always add more color if not dark enough ❤❤❤
When baking it's important to take your time and read the recipe as you do them.
Just sat my 8 month old in his high chair. Ready to bake some cookies! Thank you ❤
Best way to hang onto a little person 😅
I don't think Becky has a high chair. Or toys, sippy cups, child dishes, a buggy, a swing. Very dull for any child.
Why do you not think she does@@ardell1350
@@ardell1350I'm sure she has those things... She is just very private about her child
@ardell1350 have you been to her home? What an outrageous comment.
I'm dyslexic n can't understand written I have to see...I cook like a crazy person I cook by eye n always everything tastes different from the last!..its a talent really xxx we're different and unique! ❤️
I’m so glad you were so transparent about your error. I could see myself doing that
I would just put the one cookie with the sprinkles only on one side and then press them down with the bottom bare. I find it hard to eat cookies with lots of sprinkles because they are hard little balls. Then they would last for more cookies.
