These cookies are rolled in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar, giving them a delicious snickerdoodle flavor that everyone will love.
The cookie dough is made similar to a classic sugar cookie dough, except for the addition of the green, purple, and gold colored sprinkles mixed throughout the cookie dough. Roll the cookie dough into balls, and roll each one into a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Place the cookies onto a large baking sheet and bake until the cookies are fully cooked through.
