Eileen asks: I want to decorate cut-out sugar cookies with crystal sugar sprinkles rather than icing. How do I get the sugar to stay on the cookies? Do I put the sugar on BEFORE or AFTER I bake the cookies?
Baking S.O.S. says: Apply the sugar BEFORE you bake the cookies. To get the sprinkles to adhere to the cookies, spritz the cut-out cookies with just a little bit of water (I use a water bottle and spray the cookies very lightly), then decorate as desired with colored sugar sprinkles. If you do not have a spray water bottle, try using a pastry brush dipped lightly in water. The sprinkles will adhere to the cookies as they bake.
