Pull out all the colored sugars, sprinkles, and non pareils from your pantry. Use one color at a time, or experiment with custom combinations using a teaspoon of each color. It’s easier to roll the dough in the sugars if you use a small bowl, and tip it to the side to allow the sugars to cover the cookie completely.
